Gloomy Lagoon On A Foggy Day

No gondolas are gliding under bridges, it's a lagoon without classic songs; pigeons are huddled and do not coo, they're frightened by the murky blue! Carlo sings some lovely Neapolitan songs, tourists sing along with him and smile; they all dream of sunny Southern skies, of another distant city they admire and love! Venice sinks in direful sadness lowering a spirit that seeks adventure without a definite limit; the tower bells have stopped ringing in dim light... ghostly streets of midday miss the treading feet! Gloomy lagoon on a foggy day, transform emotions; don't surrender to dismal silence numbing the senses, it's not bleak winter yet to stop all sounds and voices... give us more delights as the sunset enthralls dreamers!
