“They” by Siegfried Sassoon The poem exists out of two stanzas‚ with a rhyme pattern of ababcc dedeff. The tone of the poem appears to be a little sarcastic and mocking.

Line1 "Globe shrunk tight" could be talking about a microcosm which could mean the themes of the poem are reflective to the wider world. Line 2 "Round" could link with the title and theme cycles of death and rebirth because snowdrops are iconic of the spring time and death is very prominent within the poem.
