Explore "Deep unto Deep Was Calling" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
They rode through the bannered city- / The King and the Commoner, / And the hopes of the world were with them, / And the heart of the world was astir. / For the moss-grown walls seemed falling / That have shut away men from Kings; / And Deep unto Deep was calling / For the coming of greater things.
They rode to an age-old Palace / Where the feet of the Mighty go- / (A Palace that stands unshaken / Despite the boast of the foe! ) / And the King from Kings descending- / And the Man of the People's choice / In a Super-Man seemed blending, / And they spoke as with one voice.
