Hey!does anyone have the sheet music for the song called-“Is anybody happier”? or is someone able to please create the notes for me? I love listening to the song and I would love to play it on the piano. This song is a girl’s song and someone in camp sternberg made it up.
Thank you!
It’s actually a poem that there are many versions of. Some people might have the chords for it (Sternberg turned it into a song, so chances are you wont find the music online).
Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember now that you spoke to him today?
The day is almost over, and its toiling time is through.
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
Can you say today is passing and tomorrow slips so fast
That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?
Does a man whose hopes were failing now with promise look ahead?
Did you waste the day or use it? Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think Hashem will say
Count that day lost:
by: George Eliot
If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done,
And, counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went —
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if, through all the livelong day,
You’ve cheered no heart, by yea or nay —
If, through it all
You’ve nothing done that you can trace
That brought the sunshine to one face–
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost —
Then count that day as worse than lost.
I believe it was most proboly taken from this poem.
I know this poem since it’s one of the literature poems you learn for the english bagrut in Israel.
I helped a bunch of my israeli friends with this…
I think Miriam Israeli made it up
