III.
Look, where erect and tall thy Symbol waits,[B]
The gift of France to friends beyond the deep,
A lofty presence at the ocean-gates
With lips of peace and eyes that cannot weep;
A new-born Tellus with uplifted arm
To light the seas, and keep the land from harm—
To light the coast at downfall of the day,
And dower with dawn the darkening water-way.
[B] Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty in New York harbour.
