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.
