The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in His heaven---
And all's right with the world*!
---Robert Burns
*Well, sort of. The natural world goes along with a lot of beautiful & good things in it; but it, too, is damaged by sin. Even Burns' mention of "the thorn" reminds us of the curse brought on by Adam's sin in Genesis chapter 3.

I did a poetry notebook in junior high that had this poem in it. Still like it.
It is great! And, of course, those last 2 lines are quoted by darned near everyone!!!!
