Pipa's song...

"Pippa's Song" (also known by its opening line, "The year's at the spring") is a short poem and song written by Robert Browning as part of his 1841 verse drama Pippa Passes. The Lyrics The year's at the spring, And day's at the morn; Morning's at seven; The hill-side's dew-pearl'd; The lark's on the wing; The snail's on the thorn; God's in His heaven— All's right with the world! Doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl? --- David Bowie? Meaning and Context • In the Play: Pippa is a young silk-winder in Asolo, Italy, who spends her single annual holiday walking through the town singing. Unbeknownst to her, her innocent songs drift past the windows of various troubled townspeople and dramatically alter the course of their lives. • Famous Lines: The final two lines—"God's in His heaven / All's right with the world!"—are frequently quoted on their own as an expression of pure optimism, though in the dramatic context of the play, they are sung by an innocent character passing by a scene of heavy moral crisis. • Musical Settings: The poem has been set to music by several composers, including Ned Rorem, Amy Marcy Beach, Clara Kathleen Rogers, and Max Mayer, and can be read or listened to via resources like English Verse or analyzed on Poem Analysis.
