It could be a dead metaphor. However, there is another interpretation: It is a personification :the mist as a man and the sun as a woman who is veiled. As the sun is a source of beauty and light, it is like the beautiful woman and the mist here as a jealous man. Notice also the paradox between "the mist" as a symbol of gloom and the sun as a symbol of optimism.
