The Cloud by Percy Bysshe Shelley Part 2

I sift the snow on the mountains below,
And their great pines groan aghast;
And all the night 'tis my pillow white,
While I sleep in the arms of the blast.
Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers,
Lightning, my pilot, sits;
In a cavern under is fettered the thunder,
It struggles and howls at fits;

It doesn't get a whole lot better than mountains, a bit of snow, and a herd of bison. This makes a great entry into a peaceful weekend. Thanks!

Great shot of the cattle grazing on the flood plain, the snow dusted mountains and sky.
