Other than your typo on the last line.

The text object needs to be called separately and it cannot be used as a 
texture. So you need the plane and text1.
You might want to think of using an image map with writing on it for the 
plane although a thin box might give better results as in PovRay planes 
stretch to infinity.
The text object is a 3D object and has depth as well as height and width.
