The Crosswise Form An Example

MY LOVE Your face your eyes your smile So deep so green so warm Awoke met mine dear heart In me that day a part In me that day a part This desire to kiss to hold Always your lips to me Remains divine all mine This form (which I have labelled crosswise) was popular in the 17th century.It can be read in almost any direction.
