Elves Live In The Land      
     Beyond The Great Dam.        
  It  Was Built  In The  Late Sixties.  
      The Elves Came To Us Then.    
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came To Trust Them.           Us 
 Kids Would Play Down At The  Water  Even 
 Though We Were Not Allowed.        
    Sometimes The  Sluice  Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And  The  River At  The  Dams 
 Foot Would  Dry Up, Revealing The  Rocky 
 Water   Garden  That  Had   Been  Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would Go There.      
      Before The  Dam  Opened  Again, 
 There Would Be A Signal,  But The  Elves 
 Would  Make Us Not Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We  Would Find The Water Rising, Already 
 At Our Knees.                
                      
  By Then  The  Elves Would Be  Gone.
