Answer:

"The New Colossus"

The way the author's word choice convey the tone of "The New Colossus"

The idealistic tone in the New Colossus was buttressed with words and phrases like “Give me, ... yearning to be free, I lift my lamp, etc.”  With such words and phrases, the author asserted that the Statue of Liberty, which he described as the New Colossus, had spread her arms to welcome immigrants from Europe.

Explanation:

With the Statue of Liberty, the United States symbolically welcomed immigrants and offered them freedom, opportunity, and hope.  Comparing the Statue of Liberty to the ancient Greek Colossus of Rhodes, the poet Emma Lazarus (1883) presented this "New Colossus" as a patroness of immigrants rather than a show of military might.
