New track from Moss Covered Technology; forthcoming on Fluid Audio...

Dartmoor! thou wert to me, in childhood's hour, 
A wild and wondrous region. Day by day 
Arose upon my youthful eye they belt 
Of hills mysterious, shadowy, clasping all 
The green and cheerful landscape sweetly spread 
Around my home; and with a stern delight 
I gazed upon thee. How often on the speech 
Of the half-savage peasant have I hung, 
To hear of rock-crowned heights on which the cloud 
For ever rests; and wilds stupendous swept 
By mightiest storms; of glen, and gorge, and cliff, 
Terrific, beetling o'er the stone-strewed vale; 
And giant masses, by the midnight flash 
Struck from the mountain's hissing brow, and hurled 
Into the foaming torrent; and of forms 
That rose amid the desert, rudely shaped 
By Superstition's hands when time was young; 
And of the dead, the warrior dead, who sleep 
Beneath the hollowed cairn!  My native fields, 
Though peerless, ceased to please.  The flowery vale, 
The breezy hill, the river and the wood, 
Island, reef, headland, and the circling sea, 
Associated by the sportful hand 
Of Nature, in a thousand views diverse, 
Or grand, or lovely, -to my roving eye 
Displayed in vain their infinite of charms; 
I thought on thy wild world, -to me a world,- 
Mysterious Dartmoor, dimly seen, and prized 
For being distant and untrod; and still 
Where'er I wander'd, -still my wayward eye 
Rested on thee!

In sunlight and in shade, 
Repose and storm, wide waste! I since have trod 
Thy hill and dale magnificent. Again 
I seek thy solitudes profound, in this 
Thy hour of deep tranquillity, when rests 
The sunbeam on thee, and thy desert seems 
To sleep in the unwonted brightness, calm, 
But stern; for though the spirit of the Spring 
Breathes on thee, to the charmer's whisper kind 
Thou listenest not, nor ever puttest on 
A robe of beauty, as the fields that bud 
And blossom hear thee. Yet I love to tread 
They central wastes when not a sound intrudes 
Upon the ear, but rush of wing or leap 
Of the hoarse waterfall. And oh, 'tis sweet 
To list the music of thy torrent-streams; 
For thou too hast thy minstrelsies fro him 
Who from their liberal mountain-urn delights 
To trace thy waters, as from source to sea 
They rush tumultuous. Yet for other fields 
Thy bounty flows eternal. From thy sides 
Devonia's rivers flow; a thousand brooks 
Roll o'er they rugged slopes; -'tis but to cheer 
Yon Austral meads unrivalled, fair as aught 
That bards have sung, or Fancy has conceived 
'Mid all her rich imaginings: whilst thou, 
The source of half their beauty, wearest still 
Through centuries, upon they blasted brow, 
The curse of barrenness.

The East and West Divide

I walked out on the moor
Out by old Hawk’s tor
Sat among the Stannon stones
To think of those gone before
Climbed the highest point
To see things from both sides
Where the ocean meets the sea
The east and west divide

I walked out on the moor
In the shadow of Rough Tor
Where Allen waters weave and wind
Sparkle in the light
Dymond’s on the mind
Sorrows of another time
Where the sun crosses the sky
The east and west divide

I walked out on the Moor
Across those old granite tors
To feel what others felt before
To bring it all to mind
Passages of time
Murmurations in the sky
I will never understand
The east and west divide

I walked out on the moor
Like so many long before
