Beautiful photos of a very atmospheric place. I love the juxtaposition of the snowdrops with the graves and the trailing ivy.

So peaceful, I last walked through here on a visit home in 2002, a short cut to Mile End Station from Spanby Road. Nature weaving her magic and allowed to do so at will. How very precious as are your splendid photographs. Thank you very much.

yesterday’s unseasonable
warm sunshine brought temperatures of remembrance
of that early Spring.
A return to Bow Cemetery
to see if the bulbs were showing yet around you.
Some Snowdrops, Hellebores , a few Primroses
You my life garden.
And at Bow I was welcomed by the silent song of thousands of Crocuses of every colour and variety spangling, spacing sprucing the graveyard .
And you lived on with these gleaming flowers.
You in those last days , beaten and bowed, grey-faced and sneezing, coughing and shivering, the harsh Winter had taken it out of me,you wished for nothingness and believed it too.
But Gods feeling
and the warmth of the sun today I saw you again.
My eyes seeing these sprouting bulbs , a profusion of life.
I saw you once more

Have the inscriptions on the gravestones been transcribed? Descendants would love to know of ancestors buried here!
