Abstract
This research paper aims at investigating the Biblical Elements in the Poem “Heaven-Haven,” one of the Oxford Religious Early poems, showing Anglican fervour. Even the early poetry of Hopkins has the themes springing from his intensely held beliefs. It is one of the yielding delights of new interest in the aspect of Hopkinsian criticism. The thematic study of the poem shows that there abound theological themes, based on the Holy Writ, in the poem. The Bible has a notion of Heaven, where Christ, seated at the right of the heavenly Father Pleading forbelievers. God is a feeder and leader. The imagery refers to the notion that uniting with God will offer refuge from the harsh realities of life. Ps.23.4 informs the idea in the Bible.
