A Crosswise-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.
