"Lithuania, Our Homeland" is the national anthem of Lithuania. The words of the song were made by a Lithuanian named Vincas Kudirka, and the melody of the song was also made by him.[1][2]
The words of the song are based on a fifty-word poem written by Kudirka about the Baltic country of Lithuania in general. The national anthem is basically a shortened version of that poem. Shortly before his death in 1899, the anthem was performed for the first time.
