I AM A HUNCHBACK, by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I am a hunchback, yellow faced Last Line: Good woman, take my arm. Alternate Author Name(s): Stevenson, Robert Lewis Balfour Subject(s): Hunchbacks | ||||||||
I am a hunchback, yellow faced -- A hateful sight to see -- Tis all that other men can do To pass and let me be. I am a woman -- my hair is white -- I was a drunkard's lass; The gin dances in my head -- I stumble as I pass. I am a man that God made at first, And teachers tried to harm; Here, hunchback, take my friendly hand -- Good woman, take my arm. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HUNCHBACK by JOHN PEALE BISHOP EMBLEMS OF EXILE by THOMAS MCGRATH THE SAINT AND THE HUNCHBACK by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS HUNCHBACK by EDWARD AUGUSTUS BLOUNT JR.
