Behold, what fires august, what lights eternal! Hark,
What passionate music poured in passionate love's defence!
Could we but face unshamed the look of this pure light,
Could we but win earth's heart, and give desire release:
Then were we all divine, and then were ours by right
These stars, these nightingales, these scents: then shame would cease.
Could we but win earth's heart, and give desire release:
The night is full of stars, full of magnificence;
These stars, these nightingales, these scents:
[So long, lovely day, we'll just follow, on our way.]
Only to feel this night's great heart, only to mark
The splendours and the glooms, brings back the patriarch,
Who on Chaldean wastes found God through reverence.
Could we but live at will upon this perfect height,
Could we but always keep the passion of this peace
Behold, what fires august, what lights eternal! Hark,
What passionate music poured in passionate love's defence!

Come Harvesting!

Lest rains begin,
Come harvesting!
Sweet blossoms die,
Yet odours fly,
For every day,
That we must pray.
The songs we sing,
Keep promising
The sun will shine
To feed the vine.
So comes the day,
That we now say,
Oh Lord you know
That we must grow.
Lest rains begin,
Come harvesting!
Sweet blossoms die,
Yet odours fly;
For every day
That we must pray,
And from the Earth
Begins a birth.

Ian Neal blends
prog rock alongside other genres. His projects fashion lustrous instrumental productions, mixing lyricism and complexity. The fourth album "Barkston Ash" draws inspiration from classical composers such as Holst, to mid-'70s progressive rock acts such as Yes, Camel, Genesis and Tony Banks.
