Explore "The Revealing Angels" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
SUDDENLY and without warning they came- / The Revealing Angels came. / Suddenly and simultaneously, through city streets, / Through quiet lanes and country roads they walked. / They walked crying: ‘God has sent us to find / The vilest sinners of earth. / We are to bring them before Him, before the Lord of Life.'
Their voices were like bugles; / And then all war, all strife, / And all the noises of the world grew still; / And no one talked; / And no one toiled, but many strove to flee away. / Robbers and thieves, and those sunk in drunkenness and crime, / Men and women of evil repute, / And mothers with fatherless children in their arms, all strove to / hide.
