Five Marble Pillars For New Year
To learn how to recite koine Greek
That I may drink from the life-giving creek
Finish reading the words of Plato
To grow my knowledge thereto
Give up eggs and milk
So I can fully wear the white silk
Travel this dark world of hellfire
That I may hear Christ’s silver lyre
Be better for aeons to see
So I can become a marble tree
