The English is by Walt Whitman, whose texts appear in several other works by this title as well. (Acc. to Wikipedia: the Mass, Whitman (including his Dirge for Two Veterans), a political speech by John Bright ("with which he tried to prevent the Crimean War" (quoting Wikipedia again) - "The Angel of Death has been abroad throughout the land . . ."), and portions of the Bible (including excerpts from the Book of Jeremiah).)
