Gustave Nadaud, Carcassonne, (c. 1887, with translation by John Reuben Thompson), Stanza 3
“
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!
