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.
