1. Sonnet 73 William Shakespeare

2. That time of the year thou mayst in me behold

3. When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

4. Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,

5. Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

6. In me thou seest the twilight of such day

7. As after sunset fadeth in the west,

8. sun
set
Which by and by
black
night
doth take away

10. Death’s second self, that seals up all the rest.
black night

11. In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire

12. That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
youth
fire
ashes

13. Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.

14. This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
that well which thou must
leave ere long. To
