May it mean to you\nThe blue of the sea, the evening sky,\nThe mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;\nThe gold of the early sourdough's dreams,\nThe precious gold of the hills and streams;\nThe brilliant stars in the northern sky,\nThe “Bear” — the “Dipper” — and, shining high,\nThe great North Star with its steady light,\nOver land and sea a beacon bright.\nAlaska's flag — to Alaskans dear,\nThe simple flag of a last frontier.","path":["Title 44.
