CADENT.�The third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth houses are cadent.

Our ears attuned to thy sweet lay Catch every flowing, cadent note And bear it ever safe within Our rapturous hearts, which gladly leap Whene'er thy name is called!

I saw no horses, no sign of life; heard no sound but the cadent wail of the ash-grey birds in their flights.

A mighty undertone of mingled sound; The cadent tumult rising from a throng Of urban workers, blending in a song Of greater life that makes the pulses bound.

O, listen to the undersong, The ever old, the ever young; And, far within those cadent pauses, The chorus of the ancient Causes!
