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
