Every gentle of the Northlands, listen: We praise she who kindles the flame, And keeps us all in thrall to her worksAt hearthside, weaving bench, Lectern, and stitching frame. 
Lady Lucy of Wigan marries imagination To ingenuity, sharing her spark with all Who would soar to heights of knowledge and art. Thus we induct her to our Order of the LarkThis 12th day of November, AS LVIIBaron Ludwig and Baroness Sinn, right and noble leaders of Highland Foorde
