Jericho Susan McKeown On the road to Jericho a band of angels came to me weeping in the night On the road to Jericho the devil made me do it I never meant to hurt you I just gave in to it And me wary of my jealousies and building little fences for you to leap over and save me from myself On the road to Jericho strewn with roses red a band of poet gypsies and you were at their head Blood colour of the flower emblazoned on your breast banner of love and victory victory
