Answer :
Based on the lines "Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome," the phrase "her beacon-hand" seems to suggest:
1. O Come in - all are welcome.
The mention of "world-wide welcome" and the symbolic image of the Statue of Liberty's torch being referred to as a "beacon-hand" implies a message of universal welcome and hospitality. This interpretation aligns with the idea that the "Mother of Exiles" (often associated with the Statue of Liberty) symbolizes a welcoming attitude towards all individuals, regardless of their background or origin.
2. Exiles are not welcome.
Contrary to this interpretation, the phrase could be seen as indicating that exiles, those who have been displaced or forced to leave their home country, are not welcome. However, given the context of the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of freedom and welcome for immigrants and exiles, this interpretation is less likely to be accurate.
In conclusion, the most fitting interpretation based on the context and symbolism of the Statue of Liberty would be the first option: "O Come in - all are welcome."
