Eduardo! -gimió-
This is from the story about The hen that laid the golden eggs of Aesop and Félix María de Samaniego
Here is the full paragraph:
Oh, Eduardo! -gimió- ¿Por qué habremos sido tan avariciosos? Ahora nunca llegaremos a ser ricos, por mucho que esperemos.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

For a more classical literary feel, you might consider "lament, for example "Oh, Edward, she lamented..."
"I wish he was here," she sighed....
"Oh, dear," she sighed.
| Thanks for your help Neilmac. |

Domini Lucas
: though expresses sense of regret it feels a little wistful to me.

Well, "moan" wouldn't be my first choice, because I associate it with sexual activity. And I do perceive it as wistful/regretful given the context.
