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.
