STATE SONG
The words to the song
Alaska’s Flag were written by Marie Drake, a long-time employee of the
Alaska Department of Education, and set to music composed by Elinor
Dusenbury, who husband was commander of Chilkoot Barracks at Haines
from 1933 to 1936. The Territorial Legislature adopted Alaska’s Flag as
Alaska’s official song in 1955.
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.
O'er land and sea a beacon
bright,
Alaska's Flag to Alaskans
dear,
The simple flag of a last
frontier.
