Maurice Bouchor
Maurice Bouchor (18 November 1855 – 18 January 1929) was a French poet.
He was born in Paris. He published in succession "Chansons joyeuses" (1874), "Poèmes de l'amour et de la mer" (1875), "Le Faust moderne" (1878) in prose and verse, and "Les Contes parisiens" (1880) in verse. His "Aurore" (1883) showed a tendency to religious mysticism, which reached its fullest expression in "Les Symboles"
La Fleur des eaux" ("The Flower of the Waters") and "La Mort de l'amour" ("The Death of Love") by Chausson's friend Maurice Bouchor (1855–1929). Bouchor also provided the lyrics for another fifteen mélodies by Chausson. One such song was "Le Temps des lilas" ("The Time of Lilacs"), the last four verses of which Chausson transcribed and incorporated into the ending of the second part of the "Poème".
