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.
