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!
The “Golden Door” is the name given to Ellis Island, located in today’s Jersey City and New York City. It served as a gateway to immigrants from January 1, 1892 to its closing in 1924. 
 Ellis Island is only a few thousand feet from Liberty Island, and today they are both part of the  Statue of Liberty National Monument .
