My Steed
I ride swiftly over the shadowed plain;
Woolly sheep graze in groups.
The brooding mountains hide the sun;
Their anvil-shaped tops glower on all below.

Hint
Which kinds of mountains have anvil-shaped tops?Answer
Airplane. (Airliner could also be accepted.)The "plain" is a layer of altostratus clouds below the airliner. The "woolly sheep" are small cumulus clouds hovering in a higher layer. The "mountains" are thunderheads, or cumulonimbus clouds that rise high in the sky, and have dark, flat tops that look like anvils.
