The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day: The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!
"The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day," describes a scene where the Queen bakes tarts during warm weather. The Queen’s activity highlights her role as a central, authoritative figure in the story's whimsical world. It also sets the stage for the upcoming conflict involving the tarts.
"The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away!" tells of the Knave's mischievous act of stealing the tarts, which leads to the Queen's anger and a subsequent trial. These lines reflect the playful, nonsensical tone of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
