Happy Spring to all!
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 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.
(tapestry design and verses by William Morris, 1834-1896)
