Alaska's
Flag by Marie Drake
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 Alaskans dear, The simple flag of a last frontier. |
