New_colossus.jpg‎ (460 × 413 pixel, file size: 50 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

New Colossus plaque; take 2 (public domain). From http://www.nps.gov/stli/plaque/index.html.

This picture is the same as Image:New colossus.png, but only 51kB and cropped. When I saved the cropped version as a PNG file, it somehow grew to 210kB, whence this work-around.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States Federal Government under the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 105. See Copyright.

[edit] Text

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-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Emma Lazarus
