Cloths of Heaven - WB Yeats

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Wonder if the locally famous 'Jotheyali Jothe Jotheyali' song of Shankar Nag inspired by this poetry?? It has a similar line...neDe nee nanna kanasa hosaki biDade...
