Summary THE CLOUD by P. B. SHELLEY

The cloud is in love with the flowers, leaves and buds. It brings fresh showers of rain from the seas and streams for the thirsty flowers. At noon, it provides cool shade to the leaves when they seem to be drooping in sleep and dreaming of water. The earth dances around the sun and sends flowers and buds to sleep. In the morning, the cloud wakes them up from sleep by shaking due-droops from its wings. 

The cloud beats the plans with hail stones and laughs as it passes in thunder. It sprinkles the snow on the mountains below.

Summary SPIRIT OF DELIGHT by P. B. SHELLEY

SHELLEY is it in very sad mood in the poem. He invokes The spirit of Joy. He feels that the spirit of delight has left him. He does not know why it has left him. His days and nights are dull and sad. He does not know how to call it back again. It lives with happy people and keeps away from pain and sorrow. It has deceived the poet. It has completely forgotten him. It lives with the happy people who do not need it at all. 

The poet gives the example of lizard. The shade of a trembling leaf frightens a lizard. In the same way, grief and sorrow frighten the spirit of delight.
