Surely it should be "first-water star" not "first-water start," no?
The phrase "first-water" is from gemology, where it is used to characterize
the quality of a diamond. So here, Frost must be referring to the gem-like
brilliance of a star - "start" must be a typo.....but it
seems to have been replicated everywhere on the web....

I think the moon sybolizes hope. It seems that the speaker uses the moon,
when he wants to feel better about himself.
