The theme of the poem Sonnet 73 is, 'all people grow old and die.'

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

Out of a total of 154 sonnets, Sonnet 73 is amongst the most popular work of William Shakespeare. The sonnet is based on the theme of growing old where Shakespeare correlates an old age with that of the shifts in season from autumn to winter and so on.

The author describes how just like the day pass to night, in the same manner a person grows old and one day he has to reach the ultimate stage of death. The author illustrates how aging feels and what it is like to grow old.
