An ocean voyage, 'Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Coral is far morered than her lips' red;
As waves break over the bow, If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
The sea welcomes me. (33) A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
Thought I’d hang around today Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
Come what will and come what may And in some perfumes is there more delight
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
Take it easy, breathe a bit
Toxic stress, time to emit (34) The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
'Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!' cries she That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
With silent lips. 'Give me your tired, your poor, I grant I never saw a goddess go;
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
I whisper the songs of love The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Under the stars in the cove Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
Come to me, my little dove. (35) I lift my lamp beside the golden door. (36) As any she belied with false compare. (37)
