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.
