Poet's bio at the Digital Victorian Poetry Project.
The dates given at the link above indicate that this is the poet's Wikipedia page, and I assume that they have evidence to distinguish him from his father, of the same name, who also wrote poetry and was alive when this was published and who also worked in British colonial administration. I simply don't have access to that evidence and so am linking both men.

Poet's bio at the Digital Victorian Poetry Project.
The dates given at the link above indicate that this is the poet's Wikipedia page, and I assume that they have evidence to distinguish him from his father, of the same name, who also wrote poetry and was alive when this was published and who also worked in British colonial administration. I simply don't have access to that evidence and so am linking both men.
