A recent magazine cover had a drawing of the arm of the Statue of Liberty holding the lamp. The flame has been extinguished and a wisp of smoke rises into the air.
Here's the end of Emma Lazarus' poem (November 2, 1883) that is on the base:
"From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome....
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."
We pray that all Americans extend this invitation.
