你会在我的身上看到这样的时节， 零落枯黄的树叶 shabby to break down 悬挂在风中颤抖的树枝上面， 美丽的鸟儿曾在这废墟般的荒凉的合唱台上

2nd quatrain
In me thou see’st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self, that seals都你看到了，你会爱得更深， 爱那个人吧，不久他就要离开人世。
That time of year thou mayst in me behold ， 在我身上你或许会看见秋 天，当黄叶，或尽脱，或 When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang , 只三三两两挂在瑟缩的枯 Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, 枝上索索抖颤--荒废的歌坛， 那里百鸟曾合唱。 Bare ruin‘d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. // 在我身上你或许会看见暮 In me thou see’st the twilight of such day ， 霭，它在日落后向西方徐 徐消退：黑夜，死的化身， As after sunset fadeth in the west, 渐渐把它赶开，严静的安 Which by and by black night doth take away, 息笼住纷纭的万类。 Death‘s second self, that seals up all in rest. // 在我身上你或许全看见余 In me thou see‘st the glowing of such fire ， 烬，它在青春的寒灰里奄 That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, 奄一息， 在惨淡灵床上早晚总要断 As the death-bed whereon it must expire, 魂，给那滋养过它的烈焰 Consumed with that which it was nourish‘d by.// 所销毁。 This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more 看见了这些，你的爱 strong, 就会加强，因为他转瞬要 To love that well which thou must leave ere long.辞你溘然长往。
• Symbolism:
The sonnet 73
Content
• fear and anxiety about old age and death • the crucial of time. • the solution to the problem（beg love ）.
My View
• The poem is beautiful in both form and content. • The poem . We all know that one’s lifetime will finish one day and death sometimes comes immediately. I ever imaged how would I feel when I was at the end of life. I often tried my best to avoid thinking the problem. But the crucial situbation depicted by the poem stuns me， and it pushes me to ponder over it.

在我的身上，你会看到这样的火焰， 它躺在青春的灰烬上， 好像它必定死在那尸床上， 被供给的燃料把自己销毁。
Heroical couplet This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
