Just for the (accurate) record -- whatever the Independent says these three unsigned poems have been known about by Auden-ites for many years. The poems were published, unsigned, in the school magazine. They may or may not be by Auden. There is no strong evidence that they actually are his. As such, they are not at the moment in his "canon".
Faithfully, -- Nick Jenkins
