Emma Lazarus (1849-1887):
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.
--The New Colossus: Inscription for the Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor [1883]
