At the beginning of the sonnet, seasons are changing and day is turning to night. Shakespeare uses word choice to make these transitions flow smoothly from one to another. He also uses the transition of time and season to show that everything, including the man,is changing. The theme of this sonnet is change, and Shakespeare uses the passing of time and season to illustrate it.
