About the author

Lennox Amott was an English poet born in 1861 and died in 1909. The main work that can be readily confirmed is The Minstrel: A Collection of Poems, published in 1883 and now preserved by sources such as Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive.

That collection places Amott in the world of late Victorian poetry. His poems are associated with themes like affection, landscape, domestic feeling, and musical imagery, and the tone is often graceful and meditative rather than dramatic.

Very little solid personal information appears to be widely available online beyond those basic dates and his published work. For that reason, it is best to remember him as a lesser-known 19th-century poet whose reputation today survives mainly through public-domain editions of The Minstrel and a small number of individual poems.
