''All You Who Sleep Tonight'', ISBN 978-0394585161, is a 1990 collection of poems by Vikram Seth. British composer Jonathan Dove set eight of the quatrains and five other poems to music for Nuala Willis in a 1996 song cycle of the same name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071008021732/http://www.editionpeters.com/pdf/Dove%20All%20You%20Who%20Sleep%20Tonight.pdf )〕 The collection is grouped into five sections: * ''Romantic Residues'', poems which reflect on feelings of love and their effects, or after-effects * ''In Other Voices'', poems from the viewpoint of people in other times and places, such as a doctor in Hiroshima on the day of the atomic bomb * ''In Other Places'', poems about places and people encountered in his travels * ''Quatrains'', four-line poems on themes as diverse as insomnia and table manners * ''Meditations of the Heart'', ranging from admiration of the Russian dissident poet Irina Ratushinskaya to the title poem of the volume. All You Who Sleep Tonight All you who sleep tonight Far from the ones you love, No hand to left or right And emptiness above - Know that you aren't alone The whole world shares your tears, Some for two nights or one, And some for all their years. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All You Who Sleep Tonight」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
