Alaska's Flag
Written by Marie Drake
Composed by Elinor Dusenbury
Eight stars of gold on a field of blue -
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs
nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and
streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear" - the
"Dipper" - and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady
light,
Over land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.
