| Summary | "Poems: New and Old" by Henry Newbolt is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. It presents a comprehensive selection of the author's verse published between 1897 and 1912, including well-known works and several previously unpublished pieces. The collection focuses on themes of naval history, the valor of sailors, and a deep sense of national pride, making it a significant tribute to the maritime heritage of England. The opening of this collection sets the stage for its maritime themes with a piece titled "Sailing at Dawn," which evokes the stirring imagery of ships departing into the sea. Newbolt’s vivid language captures the feeling of anticipation and the weight of naval history as sailors embark on their journeys, calling upon the spirits of past admirals and venerable sea dogs for guidance. This section encapsulates the essence of adventure and duty to one's country, suggesting a broader exploration of England's naval legacy throughout the collection.
