I broider the world upon a loom, br I broider with dreams my tapestry; br Here in a little lonely room br I am master of earth and sea, br And the planets come to me. br br I broider my life into the frame, br I broider my love, thread upon thread; br The world goes by with its glory and shame, br Crowns are bartered and blood is shed; br I sit and broider my dreams instead.
