Pot And Kettle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF AAFF| Come close to me dear Annie while I bind a lover's knot | A |
| A tale of burning love between a kettle and a pot | A |
| The pot was stalwart iron and the kettle trusty tin | B |
| And though their sides were black with smoke they bubbled love within | B |
| - | |
| Forget that kettle Jamie and that pot of boiling broth | C |
| I know a dismal story of a candle and a moth | C |
| For while your pot is boiling and while your kettle sings | D |
| My moth makes love to candle flame and burns away his wings | D |

| Your moth I envy Annie that died by candle flame | E |
| But here are two more lovers unto no damage came | E |
| There was a cuckoo loved a clock and found her always true | F |
| For every hour they told their hearts Ring ting Cuckoo Cuckoo | F |
| - | |
| As the pot boiled for the kettle as the kettle for the pot | A |
| So boils my love within me till my breast is glowing hot | A |
| As the moth died for the candle so could I die for you | F |
| And my fond heart beats time with yours and cries Cuckoo Cuckoo | F |
