I think what you're wanting is Actions.OnScreen rather than CycleWS.

-- import OnScreen module
-- screens are zero indexed so 1 is second one:

doIt = doF . liftM2 (.) (viewOnScreen 1) W.shift

This module has changed a few times and (I think) is only in darcs
xmonad-contrib. I believe the ff. documentation is up to date:
