Benjamin Godard (18 August 1849 – 10 January 1895) was a French composer and violinist.

Chacun son goût
Oh! the challenge if you are
A fan of Benjamin Godard,
You’ll always wonder if and when
The products of his fertile pen
Will ever be performed again.
And think of all the time you waste
Finding those that share your taste.
Friends may know his sweet “Berceuse,”
But if you try to introduce
His other things to these same friends,
That is where the business ends.
