Pippa's Song

Inspired by the 1841 poem by Robert Browning, local artist Frank Jensen created this steel sculpture in 1994. The sculpture commemorates the 30th Anniversary of the founding of the Coutts Memorial Museum of Art and is dedicated to W.H. Coutts, Jr. The figure, depicted as reaching its arms out to the sky above, stands tall between the Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital and the USD 490 Performing Arts Center.

"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!"

"Pippa's Song"
Robert Browning
