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.
