When Sue Wears Red

When Susanna Jones wears red

 Her face is like an ancient cameo

 Turned brown by the ages.

Come with a blast of trumpets,

 Jesus!

When Susanna Jones wears red

 A queen from some time-dead Egyptian night

 Walks once again.

Blow trumpets, Jesus!

And the beauty of Susanna Jones in red

 Burns in my heart a love-fire sharp like pain.

Sweet silver trumpets,

 Jesus!
