snail on the thorn from pippa's song?

Answer 1

Song, from Pippa Passes

The year's at the spring,
And 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!

~~Robert Browning, 1841, from the first volume of his series, Bells and Pomegranates
