Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O’er the land of the free And the home of the brave? Francis Scott Key ALASKA’S FLAG 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, O’er land and sea a beacon bright, Alaska’s flag to Alaskans dear, The simple flag of a last frontier.
