alleska's Flag
Eight stars of gold
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sec, 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.
on a field of blue-

This view of the rugged scenic beauty of our last
frontier serves as a fitting background for the
historic "Big Dipper" state flag, and the stirring
verse by Marie Drake.
