Gerard Manley Hopkins was a very religious man and a lover of nature. He was especially fond of the beautiful Elwy valley in the Snowdonia region of North Wales. And after the English Lake District, you feel nearer to God there than anywhere. The poem is recollection of time spent there, a time when he had felt totally at one with nature and the world. The line "Lovely the woods,waters,..." is an allusion to the sing-song Welsh accent and their way of speaking English, in which the normal word order is changed. (It is lovely becomes Lovely it is)
