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!
Emma Lazarus, poet and playwright (22 Jul 1849 to Nov 19, 1887 (aged 38)) from a poem written to raise funds for building the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty
