For Once, Then, Something Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDECFGCHIJB| Others taunt me with having knelt at well curbs | A |
| Always wrong to the light so never seeing | B |
| Deeper down in the well than where the water | C |
| Gives me back in a shining surface picture | C |
| My myself in the summer heaven godlike | B |
| Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs | D |
| Once when trying with chin against a well curb | E |
| I discerned as I thought beyond the picture | C |
| Through the picture a something white uncertain | F |
| Something more of the depths and then I lost it | G |
| Water came to rebuke the too clear water | C |
| One drop fell from a fern and lo a ripple | H |
| Shook whatever it was lay there at bottom | I |
| Blurred it blotted it out What was that whiteness | J |
| Truth A pebble of quartz For once then something | B |
