 The Queen of Hearts Rhyme
The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.
The King of Hearts called for the tarts and beat the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts and
vowed he'd steal no more.
History
Although the term first came know in 1792, it became famous much later.
Nursery rhyme The Queen of Hearts is a famous character of Lewis G. Carroll’s
‘Alice in Wonderland’. With an uncanny craving for giving death punishment
even at a minutest mistake made ‘Queen of hearts’ a distinctive character
of the much-adored novel. The character has become famous for saying “Off
with their heads!” while giving death punishment.
About the Rhyme
The Queen of Hearts nursery rhyme gives an example of Queen instinctive
decision of providing death penalty for slightest mistake (here its about
stealing tarts). At the same
time, it also shows a generous nature of King of
hearts to repeal the decision and make it more comforting for the guilty.
