All you who sleep tonight <br />Far from the ones you love, <br />No hand to left or right <br />And emptiness above - <br /> <br />Know that you aren't alone <br />The whole world shares your tears, <br />Some for two nights or one, <br />And some for all their years.<br /><br />Vikram Seth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-you-who-sleep-tonight/
