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.
