9635 Gustave Nadaud 1820-1893 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:9635
AUTHOR:Gustave Nadaud (1820–1893)
QUOTATION:They tell me every day is there
  Not more nor less than Sunday gay;
In shining robes and garments fair
  The people walk upon their way.
One gazes there on castle walls
  As grand as those of Babylon,
A bishop and two generals!
  What joy to be in Carcassonne!
  Ah! might I but see Carcassonne!
ATTRIBUTION:Carcassonne. Translated by John Reuben Thompson. Stanza 3.
