Summary

The first stanza saying the "cloud-folds of her garments shaken" gives a image that the clothes that are being worm are being moved around. The garments being shaken is a negative word. The wind is moving rapidity. "Over the woodlands brown and bare," tells us as the readers that there is some color but it is very impiety and not happy. The "harvest-fields forsaken" symbolizing that it is abandoned or deserted.

In the second stanza describes the clouds as cloudy and had a defined shape. When it says "troubled heart" puts an image in my head that his heart is sad and he is not happy about his life. The troubled heart is a negative word being because it is troubled, sad, not happy. The sky reveals grief.

In the third stanza begins in silence. The air is slowly blowing, and you hear nothing, by saying this it creates an image in your head. The "secret of despair" is a way of describing how hopeless they are. Whenever he says "cloudy bosom hoarded", the clouds are closely put together. The air is very dark, nasty, sad looking. The air reveals sadness.
