Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With ______ 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
______ of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her ______ eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With ______ lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled ______ yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your ______ shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I ______ my lamp beside the golden door!”
