Statue of Liberty

[idontknow]

The poem/saying on the base of the statue of liberty goes something like this:
Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses longing to be free...

My question is, what does the rest of it say?

Here you go:

“The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering 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 Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"” cries she
With silent lips. “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!”

Lazarus wrote the poem as an item to be auctioned in a fundraiser to raise money to construct the base of the statue.

She had to be talked into it; didn't initially want to do it.
