Category: AMERICAN POETRY
Clue: THIS 1883 POEM SAYS, "HERE AT OUR SEA-WASHED, SUNSET GATES SHALL STAND A MIGHTY WOMAN…"

Answer:
What is The New Colossus?

( All I could think of was The American Colossus. And Lou Reed's version:
Give me your hungry, your tired you poor
I'll piss on 'em
That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses
Let's club 'em to death
Get it over with,
Just dump 'em on the dirty boulevard
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )

Same here. Never even knew it had a title other than "the thing it says on the Statue of Liberty that Emma Lazarus."
