15 Poems of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) Attributed to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) by PoemHunter.com

In recent days, AfriClassical has learned from Google Alerts that several poems have been attributed to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by PoemHunter.com.  Above are two portions of a web page which includes a picture of the Afro-British composer, and his dates (1875-1912), along with Domestic Peace, one of 15 poems attributed to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor which were actually written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834).  Here are some examples:


Domestic Peace


Elsewhere at its website, PoemHunter.com also attributes the 15 poems to Samuel Taylor Coleridge. [Our companion website, AfriClassical.com, features a complete list of the Works of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by Dominique-René de Lerma, http://www.CasaMusicaledeLerma.com.  September 1, 2012 will be the Centennial of the death of the composer, and many musical performances and commemorative events have taken place in the United Kingdom and the United States.  We are collaborating with The Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Foundation, http://www.SCTF.org.uk.]
