Joy, thou shining spark of God,
Daughter of Elysium,
With fiery rapture, goddess,
We approach thy shrine!
Your magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under your protective wing
The "Ode to Joy", the European Anthem, written by the poet Friedrich Schiller and set to music by composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
