The sky is low, the clouds are mean,
A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.
A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.

first stanza tells about a bad weather and the sun is not seen and the clouds are mean by obstructing the sunlight. the flake of snow will keep us in confusion whether it will continue to snow or stop.
The second stanza tells about a hurling forceful storm all day...rumbling as if it was complaining of being mistreated. So she says..that nature was sometimes caught without its crown... that is without its majesticity on certain such days. -
First stanza- Th sky is low and clouds are mean ( thundering and dark perhaps- denotes a quarrel atmosphere). A flake of snow (rumours) travels across the barn( the house she is in ) and through a rut (public places) and it may arise to debates, which they don not know whether it will end.
Second stanza- A narrow wind complains all day, how it was mistreated. Nature like them (the poet and his friends), is sometimes caught without their royal integrity(diadem), maybe found crying or complaining. -
