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 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.
GENUINE ALASKAN
PLACER GOLD
