Alexander Sergeyevich turns to the cloud, which was left alone in the sky after the storm had dissipated. The creator states that the atmospheric phenomenon he describes was rapidly carrying on the clear azure and casting a dreary shadow over what was beneath it. The poet adds that the cloud saddened the jubilant day with its presence.

He writes of how, not long ago, the cloud encircled the sky, while lightning wrapped around it in a menacing form. The author adds that the cloud not only emitted uncharted thunder, but also provided an opportunity for abundant precipitation to pour down on the greedy earth.

Pushkin wants it to finally hide from his eyes. Alexander Sergeyevich declares that the storm is over, while the earth is fresher. According to the creative figure, the wind, gently twitching the tree leaves, chases away the aforementioned atmospheric phenomenon from the calm sky.
