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.
