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.
