The poem "Jeanie Deans"
[1] was written by
Carolina Oliphant (Lady Nairne) (1766–1845). It eulogizes
Jeanie Deans, the
heroine of
Sir Walter Scott's 1818 novel,
The Heart of Midlothian. However, it appears to be unfinished as it ends with Jeanie 'wending' her way to
London where she later obtains the pardon she seeks from the
Queen for her sister and the story does not end there. For the full story see
Jeanie Deans.
