That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang In me thou sees 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 up all in rest. In me thou seest the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the deathbed whereon it must expire, Consumed with that which it was nourished by. This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well, which thou must leave ere long. The first stanza figuratively connects old age to _____. spring summer fall winter

Answer:

I would say fall

Step-by-step explanation:

its either fall or winter, but i fell as if the old age is fall, hinting to death as winter. It mentioned yellow leaves, sunset, and fire. This is only a mere assumption... hopefully this helps
