| Summary: | ARENA consortium in fulfilment antarctic research, a european network for astrophysics of the work programme of the EC-FP6 contract RICA 026150Silent with star-dust, yonder it lies-The Winter Street, so fair and so white; Winding along through the boundless skies, Down heavenly vale, up heavenly height. Faintly it gleams, like a summer road When the light in the west is sinking low, Silent with star-dust! By whose abode Does the Winter Street in its windings go? And who are they, all unheard and unseen-O, who are they, whose blessed feet Pass over that highway smooth and sheen? What pilgrims travel the Winter Street? Are they not those whom here we miss In the ways and the days that are vacant below? As the dust of that Street their footfalls kiss Does it not brighter and brighter grow? Steps of the children there may stray Where the broad day shines to dark earth sleeps, And there at peace in the light they play, While some one below still wakes and weeps. |
