At the between the soft white fire of the Vesper Star, 

 Rising of the star of Labour as the Bretons call it, 

 meaning that with its advent the long day's 

 labour ceases, and its cold serenity when it 

 has climbed the ramparts of the mid-summer 

 night, and, as Phosphoros, the Day-Star, Son 

 of the Morning, flashes like a lance -point 

 against the milky onflood of the dawn ?
