Alaska Statutes Title 44. State Government § 44.09.040. State song

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.
