The New Colossus
Memorization
Question | Answer |
---|---|
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!" |
