The verses on the tapestry read as follows:
I am the handmaid
of the Earth - I broider fair her glorious gown
And deck her on
her days of mirth - with many a garland of renown
And while the
Earth's little ones are fain - and play about the mother's hem
I scatter every
gift I gain - from sun and wind to gladden them
(William Morris)
