Who is Maremna?—
A noble’s child, rear’d amidst Nature’s scenes,
Her earliest friends! They guided her first steps,
Speaking of God and His stupendous works
Long ere Religion’s dogma intervened.
Child of a chieftain o’er whose broad domains
She roamed, a happy, free, unfetter’d waif,
Loving the mountain crag and forest lone,
The straths and corries, rugged glens and haunts
Of the red deer and dove-like ptarmigan;
