Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH DIJKLDMNOPA| LAZARUS In silence you lie | A |
| Beneath the dust of ancient scrolls | B |
| Whilst your art The mother of exiles | C |
| Dines in the womb of time demarcated | D |
| Soon the Island of liberty will consume itself | E |
| And darkness shall mate with time | F |
| To blot out the light of the lamp | G |
| Meant to lead us through the golden door | H |
| - | |
| I the son of a slave who tasted liberty | D |
| From the bone of your poem | I |
| I have escaped the sweat at home | J |
| To kiss the feet of the mighty woman with the torch | K |
| I have wandered the sprawled body of the Sahara | L |
| Crossed sand dunes of the lynched | D |
| Saw the Mediterranean throw up waxed bones of my forebears | M |
| Till I came to Babylon navigating | N |
| Through the ocean of my sweat yet here I am | O |
| Standing on the heels of broken dreams | P |
| With just a wall in between your Colossus and I | A |
