Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied
pomp

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses

to breathe free,
The
wretched refuse
of your
teeming
shore.
Send these, the homeless,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
