The Man Who Never Was : Question

Question

On behalf of my father, who likes this movie, I was wondering if anyone knew where this came from. It was quoted in the movie:

"Last night I dreamed a deadly dream
Beyond the Isle of Skye
I saw a dead man win a fight
And I think that man was I"

It was credited as from Tennyson?? Anyone know which poem this is from?? Please help...





"I'm Richard the Lionheart, pleased to meet you. No, wait, I'm Charlemagne! No..."

Re: Question

Its from a ballad called "The Battle of Otterbourne". I think its by Lesley Nelson Burns, not sure on that last point though. Hope it helps.
