Can you please break down the poem "A Better Resurrection" by Christina Rossetti for me?I have the first stanza figured out. I am not sure what the...

In the poem "A Better Resurrection, the speaker is empty
and his life is void of feelings. There is nothing but loneliness in the speaker's
life.

The speaker's heart is so numb until he has no "hopes
or fears." This is a dreadful state in which to be. There is nothing but
nothingness.

The speaker cannot see the hills. This could
refer to the scripture which mentions looking to the hills from which come my help
(Psalm 121). But the speaker in this poem cannot see the hills. He has nothing for which
to look forward.

He mentions his life is compared to a
falling leaf. That would mean death. He mentions that his life is void and frozen. This
is utter hopelessness and brokenness.

But the speaker has
hope in that the fire of Jesus will remold his life. Again, there is a scripture that
states that we shall burn in the fire and come forth as pure gold (Zechariah 13:9). This
is what the speaker is counting on in the following
stanza:

My
life is like a broken bowl,
A broken bowl that cannot hold
One drop
of water for my soul
Or cordial in the searching cold;
Cast in the
fire the perished thing;
Melt and remould it, till it be
A royal cup
for Him, my King:
O Jesus, drink of
me.
