Alaska Flag and Song



Alaska's Flag
      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 flowers 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 Alaskan’s dear,
      The simple flag of the last frontier.
