The New Colossus 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 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 . 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! 不似希腊伟岸铜塑雕像 　　拥有征服疆域的臂膀 　　红霞落波之门
