Everything will eventually die with time. Even the sun is not spared death with time. That is the function of time, to eventually kill everything and leave it in Death's shade.

He infers that summer will fade with time and so will her beauty but that he has found a way to circumvent time by writing of her beauty in a poem. And for as long as people can read, her beauty will never be killed by time for it will last forever.
