Undated:
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus, 1883

Undated: "The New Colossus" is a
sonnet that
American poet
Emma
Lazarus (1849–1887) wrote in 1883 to raise money for the construction of a
pedestal for the
Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World).[2]
In 1903, the poem was cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the
pedestal's lower level.
