Liberty Enlightening the World Lazarus Poem The New Colossus ... 11-02-1883 ... Emma Lazarus ... 1849 - 1887 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!" Neo-classic sculpture by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi (2 August 1834 – 4 October 1904). The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
