>sonnet? The time and season are significant in this sonnet because it all points to a person nearing death. Autumn is a season that is near the end of the year and it could be a metaphor for nearing the end of life. Shakespeare describes night as death's second self and mid-way through the sonnet "night" sets in. He describes only a few yellow leaves still hanging on which could symbolize the little time he has left 'til he too will fall to the ground.
