Analysis and comments on Uphill by Christina Rossetti

Comment 4 of 4, added on April 30th, 2009 at 1:35 AM.

I think this poem is about life, and the journeys it holds, not about death. The journeys that we take are often hard and tiring, 'uphill' and 'all day long', but when you get there it's worth it.

I have read the poem.I think that it is a frank and delicate meditation on death in rhyming quatrains.Life is here presented as a long, tiring uphill journey toweards the ''dark hours'' of death.This journey makes a man weak and worn out.But after death,the soul reaches heaven where God is ready to give peace and rest to the battered soul.This is a very beautiful and significant poem.

SOUKARJA GHOSAL from India
