To describe this long journey as a mere mile is an understatement. This journey is sometimes a "merry way" and sometimes a "weary way," which are further represented by the metaphors "summer sunshine" and "winter rain," respectively. In describing the happy seasons of life, the speaker wraps together personification, a simile, and pathetic fallacy. The speaker wants the desired friend to let his "frolic fancy play," that is, the friend's imagination (fancy) is personified as being able to play "like a child," which is a simile, "through the flowers gay." Ascribing emotions to parts of nature is a pathetic fallacy, a figure of speech that is like personification but specifically uses nature to reflect the emotion the author wants to convey. Flowers can't literally be "gay" or happy, but describing them as such helps the author create the desired mood.
