Portrait of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge — Samuel Taylor Coleridge Samuel Taylor Coleridge, detail of an oil painting by Washington Allston, 1814; in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

In the first edition of Lyrical Ballads, published in 1798, Samuel Taylor Coleridge contributed four poems to the collection. These poems are:1

"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (originally titled "The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere")
"The Foster-Mother’s Tale, a Dramatic Fragment"
"The Nightingale; a Conversational Poem, Written in April, 1798"
"The Dungeon"

It should be noted that some copies of the first edition also included "Lewti, or the Circassian Love-Chant." Coleridge withdrew this poem at the last minute due to concerns that it would reveal the authors' identities, and it was replaced by "The Nightingale" in most copies.2
