Pippa’s Song

Robert Browning, 1841

The song of Pippa, a silk-winding girl, on a spring morning, from Browning's verse drama Pippa Passes.

The year’s at the springAnd day’s at the morn;Morning’s at seven;The hill-side’s dew-pearled;The lark’s on the wing;The snail’s on the thorn:God’s in his heaven—All’s right with the world!
