The New Colossus is an Emma Lazarus[?] poem, written for and inscribed in the Statue of Liberty:
- 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-tossed to me.
 
- I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
