In this poem, As Weary Pilgrim Now at Rest, these phrases play a tremendous part in giving the poem color.
What I mean by giving the poem color is the diction or word usage can paint a clear picture in your mind...
The idea or words painting an image in your mind is called imagery.
In these phrases you can see the hungry wolves...
"The briars and thorns no more shall scratch
Not hungry wolves at him shall catch.."

Answer:
The phrases "hungry wolves," "rugged stones," and "wasted limbs" emphasize physical suffering in earthly life. They also suggest a strong desire for freedom from physical suffering. The poet sees life as a temporary state and sees death as the passage from this temporary state to a higher and permanent state that is far more important. Thus, these words that emphasize suffering in earthly life help to convey the idea that death is, in fact, a desirable release from pain.
