The Sun is gay or stark

The Sun is gay or stark
According to our Deed.
If Merry, He is merrier—
If eager for the Dead

Or an expended Day
He helped to make too bright
His mighty pleasure suits Us not
It magnifies our Freight

    "The Sun is gay or stark" really left a lasting impression on me. Dickinson's descriptions are just so vivid and emotive.
