I too am an admirer of the pipe organ....I wrote this many years ago.....
Oh, for some pipes and a chest full of wind
Oh for the pallet and spring.
Oh for the upper board, table and grid,
Oh for the wind ducts to sing.
Oh for the tracker, sticker and pin,
Oh for the bearer and slides.
Oh for some felt, many ivory crazed keys,
Oh for those solid oak sides.
Oh for the ear, lip, throat, cup and foot,
Oh for the reeds’ resonator.
Oh for those names - Kleingedacht, Trommet und Zimbel,
Oh for the Hohlflote und Oktava.
Oh, for some pipes and a chest full of wind,
Oh for the levers and square.
Oh for the sound of wood and tin flutes,
Oh for the sweet, sweetness of air.
Oh, for some pipes and a chest full of wind
Oh for the pallet and spring.
Oh for the upper board, table and grid,
Oh for the wind ducts to sing.
Oh for the tracker, sticker and pin,
Oh for the bearer and slides.
Oh for some felt, many ivory crazed keys,
Oh for those solid oak sides.
Oh for the ear, lip, throat, cup and foot,
Oh for the reeds’ resonator.
Oh for those names - Kleingedacht, Trommet und Zimbel,
Oh for the Hohlflote und Oktava.
Oh, for some pipes and a chest full of wind,
Oh for the levers and square.
Oh for the sound of wood and tin flutes,
Oh for the sweet, sweetness of air.
