The Lilt of Language

I like the word, lilt. It is one of those monosyllabic words.

And the only time I hear it is around St. Patty's day when they sing, When Irish Eyes are Smiling...
and the lilt of Irish laughter....
(sure to steal your heart away!)

Such a light airy word.

Lilt is a verb which means to sing or speak in a rhythmic manner; also a noun which means a spirited song; and lilting is the adjective. It just sounds cheerful to me.

I think we should use it more.

Wishing you a lilting holiday weekend and a

Happy, delectable Independence Day, filled with the lilt of your favorite friends!!!
