"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."

Written by Emma Lazarus on the base of the Statue of Liberty in 1883.

Hello Babyscot59,
I know that too :
It is written on a sheet made of bronze below the Statue of Liberty, the poem is from Emma Lazarus :

"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 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!"

And another question, do you know what the Statue of Liberty is looking at ?

I think she looks at the future, she looks after NYC.
I can be wrong...

Could you be more acurate Fab please?
Because, does the thing she looks at always exist??

Thanks,

Damiro

Hello Zit,
We didn't use internet to find the quotation.
I really knew the answer.
I remembered one of my English teacher telling that (for Europe)!!!
And for the poem, I learnt American civilization at the University and I found it in my American civilization book.
Sorry if you mistook.
Bye

If you knew it, it's good for you! Personally I found it on the web and I didn't want to put it here because it's too simple to do it that way.
