Chapter XII
"And vain desires, and hopes dismayed, And fears that cast the earth in shade, My heart did fret." Night is waning! Dies pater, Father of Day, is making rapid strides across the heavens, creating havoc as he goes. Diana faints! the stars grow pale, flinging, as they die, a last soft glimmer across the sky. Now and again a first call from the birds startles the drowsy air.
