Ange Flégier (1846–1925) was born in Marseilles and also died there. He
studied composition with Ambroise Thomas at the Conservatoire in Paris and then became a well-known composer with more than 350 works in his catalogue. Most of his works are concert songs and chamber music pieces. He also worked as a music critic and, later in life, as a painter.

Dans le silence
Le bateau dort
Et bord sur bord
Il se balance.

Seul à l’avant
Un petit mousse
D’une voix douce
Siffle le vent.

Au couchant pâle
Et violet
Flotte un reflet
Dernier d’opale.

Les flots déteints
Ont sous la brise
La couleur grise
Des vieux étains.

Alors la veuve
Aux noirs cheveux
Se dit: «Je veux
Faire l’épreuve

De mes écrins
Dans cette glace.»
Et la Nuit place
Parmi ses crins,

Sous ses longs voiles
Aux plis dormants,
Les diamants
De ses étoiles.
