"Alaska's Flag" is the State Song of Alaska . The original lyrics were written by Marie Drake with a second verse added later by Carol Beery Davis . The music was composed by Elinor Dusenbury . Its lyrics honor the Flag Of Alaska : :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 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. :A Native lad chose the Dipper's stars :For Alaska's flag that there be no bars :Among our culture. Let it be known :Through years the Native's past has grown :To share life's treasures, hand in hand, :to keep Alaska our Great-Land; :We love the northern midnight sky, :the mountains, lakes and streams nearby. :The great North Star with its steady light :will guide all cultures, clear and bright, :with nature's flag to Alaskan's dear, :the simple flag of the last frontier.
