Imagine that the poem which follows was recently discovered among the youthful works of a well known poet?

Question

The poem is unpublished and previously unknown. What 19th or 20th century British or American poet do you think most likely to have written this poem and on what basis do you arrive at your conclusion? The poem is titled "Stealing Thunder" and it is described as a sort of acrostic poem (the first letters of the major lines spelling the title of the poem).

Summer solstice long now past and tedium set in, I, alone,
in thought macabre, comes abrupt a knocking,
Trepidation gently tapping, tapping, tapping softly at my door,
so politely rapping at my secluded far-off door,
Evenfall now close at hand, a sickly fear of Death drawn nigh,
a guest perhaps not unexpected,
Abjectly knocking at my door, seeking to make myself its home,
to make my very self its own,
Lest I seem ungraced in meeting, guest, I bid thee welcome,
bid thee greeting, as will
I all who pass this way today, e'en noxious inquiline.

Though loneliness be neither friend nor foe, to
Nullify incessant searching though,
I crave at times fair company, this
Garish introspective glare to chase,
that facile recompense cannot erase,
To wrest me from this steadfast light,
beastly burden in the night, that
Hunts remorseless, delving deep, hunts relentless
through my sleep, till at last it find
Umbrage foul or umbrage fair 'midst
long forgotten neurons there, within my mind
Near where close by, lurking hush, abiding calm,
surpassing all of this world's qualm,
Dutiful December biding too, awaits so dulcet,
waits alluring, soothing beacon in the storm to
Each lone sojourner depleted, seeking fairly earned respite,
as the far-off looming lighthouse, so loyal in the night,
Reclaims the weary roving mariner lacking strength to further roam,
so appealing, so appeasing, calling him at last to home.
