No One Knows the Reason Why by Rachel Field

No One Knows the Reason Why
by
Rachel Field

Elves can't catch cold and they never cry.
But any sunny day you may spy
On fields and lawns all under the sky
Their cob-web handkerchiefs spread to dry!

From Eliza and the Elves by Rachel Field (The MacMillan Company, 1926).
