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
