Produce a detailed written description of a dreary scene outside a wilderness swamp with swamp thistle, willow trees, and stones.
assistant
Tumbled stones, blocky and chipped, lie in a scattered heap along the sloping edge of the swamp and provide a durable barrier that keeps the sludge-covered watercourse at bay. Drooping willow trees, short and stunted, drape across the path and dangle their spear-shaped leaves upon the spongy ground. A tangled vine, riddled with thorns, rest in a knotted cluster around a thick growth of bright purple swamp thistle.
