The character was drawn by Edward Burne-Jones and the background by William Morris (1885).

"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"
