And I mean to hear ye groan like that again. And to moan and sob, even though you dinna wish to, for ye canna help it. I mean to make you sigh as though your heart would break, and scream with the wanting, and at last to cry out in my arms, and I shall know that I've served ye well. Diana Gabaldon
About This Quote

The Scottish poet, Robert Burns, wrote this poem in 1785. It’s a sad poem about the death of his wife, Jean Armour. Burns wanted to be able to get out of bed every morning and have his wife around to kiss him good morning. However, since she was gone, he had to learn how to be strong even though it was painful.

He also wanted his readers to know that he needed her so much. The last line of the poem is: "And I mean to hear ye groan like that again," and it was Burns' way of making sure that in the afterlife everyone would be in love and living happily ever after.
