I Heard You Solemn-Sweet Pipes of the Organ by Walt Whitman Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1855

I heard you solemn-sweet pipes of the organ as last Sunday morn I
        pass'd the church,
Winds of autumn, as I walk'd the woods at dusk I heard your long-
        stretch'd sighs up above so mournful,
I heard the perfect Italian tenor singing at the opera, I heard the
        soprano in the midst of the quartet singing;
Heart of my love! you too I heard murmuring low through one of the
        wrists around my head,
Heard the pulse of you when all was still ringing little bells last
        night under my ear.
