Adding buttons to the svg

I added display: block; now span works.

.circle {
  display: block;
}
   <button class="playa thePlay">
      <span class="circle"> <svg class="play" width="38" height="22" viewBox="0 0 26 26">
          <g id="play">
            <title>Play</title>
            <path d="M7.712 22.04a.732.732 0 0 1-.806.007.767.767 0 0 1-.406-.703V4.656c0-.31.135-.544.406-.703.271-.16.54-.157.806.006l14.458 8.332c.266.163.4.4.4.709 0 .31-.134.546-.4.71L7.712 22.04z" fill-rule="evenodd" />
          </g>

        </svg> </span>
    </button>
