What was the title of Patrick Brontë's first published collection of poems?

Patrick Brontë’s first published collection of poems was Cottage Poems.

The collection appeared in 1811 and contained moral and religious verse intended for ordinary readers. Patrick was then an Anglican clergyman serving in Yorkshire, years before his children became famous as the Brontë writers.

His literary career had begun with individual poems. In 1810, a local newspaper published his 256-line poem Winter Evening Thoughts. Cottage Poems followed as his first book-length poetry collection, establishing a pattern of accessible devotional and moral writing.

Patrick continued publishing poetry and prose. His later works included The Rural Minstrel: A Miscellany of Descriptive Poems in 1813 and The Cottage in the Wood in 1816. He also wrote The Maid of Killarney, a novel published in 1818.

Cottage Poems is easily confused with Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, the 1846 volume published by Charlotte, Emily, and Anne under pseudonyms. That later book belongs to Patrick’s daughters, not to Patrick himself.
