Pleasant speech cadence (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lilt

(Other definitions for lilt that I've seen before include "Till to get light and pleasant rhythm" , "Musical quality of voice" , "...jaunty rhythm, perhaps" , "Swing - music" , "Swing - rhythm" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
