Summary
One day the poet was working in the field. In the silence, he heard a kind of whisper. He noticed that this sound was coming from his sickle. He felt that the sickle might be trying to tell him something. But the poet does not understand exactly what the sickle wants to tell him. Maybe talking about the heat of the sun or some silence. It may be about those lazy people who think wealth is too easy. Actually, the sickle doesn’t speak, just whispers. He thinks it might be his imagination. But soon he thinks that his sickle is as industrious as him. So he is not talking about an imaginary existence but a realistic one.
