Explore "When Sue Wears Red" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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!
