About

This sonnet is one of the sequence dedicated to the Fair Youth. In the previous three sonnets he has dealt with the subject of his own death which, naturally, will precede that of the boy. In Sonnet 73 Shakespeare considers old age, and how the youth might be affected by seeing someone he loves grow...

Sonnet 73 Annotated

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed, whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.
