"Lay Down Your Weary Tune"

In "Lay Down Your Weary Tune," the end of the line "Lay down your weary tune, lay down" is sung to a descending phrase (the whole line is sung to the phrase E A B C# B A A F# E E), musically giving a sense of that "lay[ing] down."  Similarly, "And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings" descends (something like D D C# A A B C# A D), musically giving an impression of "lay[ing] down" to "rest."
