State of Maine
Our Maine State Flag bears the coat of arms of the State of Maine on a blue field matching the shade of blue in the flag of the United States. The coat of arms includes: A farmer, a sailor, a pine tree, a moose, the State Motto in a banner above the figures and the word "Maine" in a banner at the bottom of the figures.

State of Maine Song
Written by Roger Vinton Snow
Composed by Roger Vinton Snow
Grand State of Maine, proudly we sing
To tell your glories to the land
To shout your praises till the echoes ring
Should fate unkind send us to roam
The scent of the fragrant pines,
The tang of the salty sea will call us home.
Oh, Pine Tree State
Your woods, fields and hills
Your lakes, streams and rockbound coast
Will ever fill our hearts with thrills
And tho' we seek far and wide
Our search will be in vain
To find a fairer spot on earth
Than Maine! Maine! Maine!
