Couldnt help noticing the similarities between 'Let England Shake'

"The Wests asleep, let England shake"

and epic Irish rebel poem "The Wests Awake"

"When all beside a vigil keep,
The West's asleep, the West's asleep -
Alas! and well may Erin weep...........

.....But, hark! a voice like thunder ...
