"MAKE POETRY GREAT AGAIN"

like it was when Emma Lazarus

came forth and poetically spoke

so eloquently in a beautiful

written sonnet engraved on

a plaque of bronze fitly titled

The New Colossus

placed in the base of a

national monument words

of a freedom fighter

The New Colossus

By Emma Lazarus, 1883

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!"
