The Statue of Liberty

1886 Dedication -

"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-tossed to me:

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!'"

Emma Lazarus - The New Colossus

The Statue of Liberty

AMEN.


Woman

America, America, GOD shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.
