Throughout the saga of Diana Gabaldon, the latter punctuates her lyrics with poems, songs, promises or oaths.
Some refer to existing texts or at least to ancestral traditions, such as oaths of allegiance or oaths of marriage, or some poems and some traditional songs, the latter being sometimes adapted for the occasion, such as boogie -woogie Claire. Others are from his imagination but are no less wonderful and worthy of being appreciated and listed.
