A Toast is a famous poem by France Prešeren. It was written in 1844 and has been Slovenia's national anthem since September 27 1989. The most famous is its 7th stanza, for which Stanko Premrl composed a choral composition with the same name. Only the text of the 7th stanza comprises the anthem of Slovenia. In form, the poem is a carmen figuratum because the shape of each stanza resembles a wine cup. Lyrics Spet trte so rodile, The vintage, friends, is over, prijat'li, vince nam… (More on Zdravljica)
