  2. The New ColossusEmma Lazarus wrote the following poem in 1883; today it is engraved on a plaque in the Statue of Liberty Museum. • 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!”
