George Gordon Byron The Destruction of Sennacherib
Die Niederlage des Sanherib (The Destruction of Sennacherib) II
Original engl.: "For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, // And breathed in the face of the foe as he pass'd, // And the eyes of the sleepers wax'd deadly and chill, // And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"
