Newbolt came to dislike his most famous poem Vitai Lampada; during a 1923 speaking tour of Canada he was constantly called upon to recite the poem: “it’s a kind of Frankenstein’s Monster that I created thirty years ago,” he complained.

 Biographical Sketches. Untermeyer, Louis, ed. 1920. Modern British Poetry
Henry Newbolt was born at Bilston in 1862.

 [minstrels] He Fell Among Thieves -- Sir Henry Newbolt
As a poet, Newbolt is very reminiscent of Kipling - he addresses many of the same subjects, in a similar tone, and if he is not quite as overt a minstrel of the Empire, its mindset nonetheless permeates his works.
Also very characteristic are the scenes that pass through his mind as he lives his last night, and the fatalistic courage of a 'dream untroubled of hope' (lovely phrase, too).
Without any overt appeal to the emotions, Newbolt does, I think, manage to evoke a sense of sadness and of loss; the technique is by no means a new one but he handles it effectively and without appearing cliched.

 FREE MARKET FAIRY TALES: Vita Lampada - Sir Henry Newbolt
As a former student at Clifton College (Henry Newbolts school) this poem has special sentiment for me, for 'The Close' is where I spent the best years of my life.
While Newbolt references the far-flung colonial battlefields that would have been familiar to his late Victorian readers, he describes an attitude, or approach, toward life that is equally applicable to sport, business, or, indeed, any of the myriad competitive arenas where individuals strive for success.
The stakes may be serious (death itself), but he places value on this attitude, the "joyful mind" which equips his torch-bearers with both a greater chance of success and the type of style or dash which was viewed as the hallmark of the English gentleman of his day.
