I don't know why Samuel Carter Hall credits it to "P. D.", but note that his wife Anna Maria credits it to him, as do all the otheers up to 1950; further, C. H. is a reasonable abbreviation for [Samuel] Carter Hall, so I think this is sufficient evidence to claim he is the author despite his having credited it otherwise. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 18:43, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
