"Liberty Enlightening The World"
Steel &
Copper
& Hope
With torch
& Tablet . . .
On October 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland
dedicated the Statue of Liberty.
"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!"
by Emma Lazarus, Emma's poem is much longer but these
are the words that often bring a lump in
our throat and a tug at our heart.
Maybe you will someday see this beacon of hope
in the dark early hours of a rainy morning as your
ship enters New York harbor.
Maybe you will find new words . . .
