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.
