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.
