In this poem‚ it is time; immortality and the transience of beauty. The speaker mentions numerous times throughout the poem that “every fair from fair sometime declines” be it that of nature‚ “summer’s lease hath all too short a date” and eventually Autumn begins in which the leaves shrivel and die‚ or that of the subject. From the third quatrain onwards‚
