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;

  1. Your picture fits the verse perfectly except for the dead and naked trees. The light snow-cover is just perfect.

  9. I know fires are part of the cycle of the forest, but burned-out section of trees makes me sad. The clouds are pretty though!
