The New Colossus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCECE F

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fameA
With conquering limbs astride from land to landB
Here at our sea washed sunset gates shall standB
A mighty woman with a torch whose flameA
Is the imprisoned lightning and her nameA
Mother of Exiles From her beacon handB
Glows world wide welcome her mild eyes commandB
The air bridged harbor that twin cities frameA
Keep ancient lands your storied pomp cries sheC
With silent lips Give me your tired your poorD
Your huddled masses yearning to be freeC
The wretched refuse of your teeming shoreE
Send these the homeless tempest tost to meC
I lift my lamp beside the golden doorE

Myra Katz: This statue was the first thing all four of my grandparents saw of their new world. I had the honor of the same view when my husband and I returned for a trip to Europ. I stood on the ship's deck and had the privilege of sharing the money with a couple who were emigrating here that day.
It was a moment I will never forget.
