This excerpt describes men who have had chances in life as well and plenty of abilities to do great with their days, but as the moments are not fully seized, later life as years pass by, they become sad as they look at the past and notice all the precious time that they let go and that will never come back, as well as the few good moments that will remain as a constant of the lost plenty of youth.

Explanation:
The lines describing the time of the year are:
When April with his showers sweet with fruit ----- 1
The drought of March has pierced unto the
root ---------2
When Zephyr also has, with his sweet breath, ----------5
Quickened again, in every holt and heath, ----------------6
Then do folk long to go on pilgrimage ---------------------13
Chaucer focuses on these sensory details because he is trying to emulate some Latin and Greek authors who introduce their poems by creating inspiration through a muse. Chaucer then chooses to create inspiration by describing a natural phenomenon of the earth replenishing itself.
From the lines above, the season of the year is spring just after winter. The description implies spring as a symbol of rebirth and new life. A time when the earth replenishes itself after the dry air of winter, a time when there is rain, fresh air and when people long to go on pilgrimage.
