Pippa Passes

For the city of the same name, see Pippa Passes, Kentucky.

A cobbled street separated from a garden by a hedge and a railing. Three women sit on stone steps by the railing, wearing dresses, headscarves, and necklaces of beads; one of them calls out to a young woman walking past wearing a plain peasant dress and carrying a branch of a tree.
In act III, Pippa passes a group of girls sitting near the Duomo in Asolo, one of whom calls to her, "you may come closer—we shall not eat you!" Drawing by Elizabeth Siddal, 1854.

Pippa Passes is a verse drama by Robert Browning. It was published in 1841 as the first volume of his Bells and Pomegranates series, in a low-priced two-column edition for sixpence,[1] and republished in his collected Poems of 1849,[2] where it received much more critical attention. It was dedicated "most admiringly to the author of Ion"[3], that is, Thomas Noon Talfourd. It is best known for the lines "God's in his heaven— / All's right with the world!"
