- All times of summer fade, as fade they must.
- Embrace what time remains; it will not last. Your autumn, too, will soon be ancient past.
- The theme of the poem is nothing in life last forever, so enjoy the moments you do have.

In fuller depth time passing and how it affects us is out of our control, and their is nothing you can do to change it. So, it takes a positive mindset to this idea to not take for granted the time you do have and take in the change when it comes.
