Shakespeare uses a bunch of fancy words just to describe the season fall. His diction adds to the creativity of the sonnet and forces the reader to really dig into it to find that its talking about fall.
The even that some guy died and they're burying his ashes is what the poem is circling around. The time and seson are importatnt because the season (fall) and the time (night) are dramatic components to the mellow, dreary tone.
