"Lay your ear close to the hill. Do you not catch the tiny clamour, Busy click or an elfin hammer, Voice of the Lepracaun singing shrill As he merrily plies his trade? William Allingham - The Lepracaun (in the original with a and without h), or Fairy Shoemaker. (This 18th century poem describes the sound of a shoemaker's elf beating: "Put your ear close to the hill. You do not hear the little clamor of the elven hammer slam, the voice of the goblin singing stridently as he happily goes about his trade? ") "
