Carnival Time

Venetian lacy, black masks with feathery eyes Others gilded in gold leaf and sequinned gems Come gliding in gondolas to disguise Obsequiously they dip and bowing bend St Mark's Square is the meeting place to parade Stately in silken ball gowns and evening dress Mask Contest and new acquaintances made Greet three million visitors more or less
