"All You Who Sleep Tonight" is [http://www.amazon.com/All-You-Who-Sleep-Tonight/dp/039458516X a 1990 collection of poems] written by Vikram Seth. 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. 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 [http://www.editionpeters.com/pdf/Dove%20All%20You%20Who%20Sleep%20Tonight.pdf] .
