De Vlaamse Leeuw
"De Vlaamse Leeuw" (Dutch: [də ˈvlaːmsə ˈleːu] ; The Flemish Lion) is the official anthem of Flanders, a region and community in Belgium. == Composition == The words of this anthem were written in July 1847 by Hippoliet Van Peene (1811–1864) who was clearly inspired by the song Sie sollen ihn nicht haben, / den freien Deutschen Rhein, / So lang sich Herzen laben / An seinem Feuerwein (They must never get our free German Rhine, As long as hearts relish its fiery wine) by the German author Nikolaus Becker.
