A German aeroplane flew over Greek territory dropping a bomb which killed a shepherd	A
	-
	-
'Sitting on a stone a Shepherd	A
Stone and Shepherd sleeping	B
Under the high blue Attic sky	C
Along the green monotony	D
Grey sheep creeping creeping'	C
	-
Deep down on the hill and valley	D
At the bottom of the sunshine	E
Like great Ships in clearest water	F
Water holding anchored Shadows	G
Water without wave or ripple	H
Sunshine deep and clear and heavy	D
Sunshine like a booming bell	I
Made of purest golden metal	H
White Ships heavy in the sky	C
Sleep with anchored shadow	J
	-
Pipe a song in that still air	K
And the song would be of crystal	H
Snapped in silence or a bronze vase	L
Smooth and graceful curved and shining	C
Tell an old tale or a history	D
It would seem a slow Procession	M
Full of gestures limbs and torso	J
White and rounded in the sunlight	N
	-
'Sitting on a stone a Shepherd	A
Stone and Shepherd sleeping	C
Like a fragment of old marble	H
Dug up from the hillside shadow'	A
	-
In the sunshine deep and soundless	J
Came a faint metallic humming	C
In the sunshine clear and heavy	D
Came a speck a speck of shadow	A
Shepherd lift your head and listen	M
Listen to that humming Shadow	A
	-
'Sitting on a stone the Shepherd	A
Stone and Shepherd sleeping	C
In a sleep dreamless as water	F
Water in a white glass beaker	F
Clear pellucid without shadow	A
Underneath a sky blue crystal	H
Sees his grey sheep creeping'	C
	-
In the sunshine clear and heavy	D
Shadow fled a dark hand downward	A
In the sunshine deep and soundless	J
Burst a star dropt thing of thunder	F
Smoked the burnt blue air's torn veiling	C
Drooping softly round the hillside	A
	-
Boomed the silence in returning	C
To the crater in the hillside	A
To the red earth fresh and bleeding	C
To the mangled heap remaining	C
Far away that humming Shadow	A
Vanished in the azure distance	J
	-
'Sitting on a stone no Shepherd	A
Stone and Shepherd sleeping	C
But across the hill and valley	D
Grey sheep creeping creeping	C
Standing carven on the sky line	E
Scattering in the open distance	J
Free in no man's keeping'	C
