Answer:

The poet is asking "thou" to protect the earth through dew.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poem above, the word "thou" refers to the goddess venus whom the poet claims to protect the creatures of the land, allowing a silvery, protective and powerful dew to fall on all creatures when the god is distracted, drawing in the sky during the dawn.
