Question

why the poet of summer sun refer to the sun as the gardener of the world

Answer 1

Great is the sun, and wide he goes
Through empty heaven with repose;
And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his rays.

Though closer still the blinds we pull 
To keep the shady parlour cool,
Yet he will find a chink or two
To slip his golden fingers through.

Meantime his golden face around
He bares to all the garden ground, 
And sheds a warm and glittering look 
Among the ivy’s inmost nook.
