A bilingual two-stanza poem in manuscript in Eaton’s fonds, this composition also appears in The Honorable Miss Moonlight in which it is sung by the Spider to Moonlight’s baby. Eaton’s poem bears a passing resemblance to traditional Japanese lullabies attributed to specific regions: The traditional Chūgoku region lullaby repeats the word Nenneko (meaning “hushabye”) and the brevity of Eaton’s piece recalls the six-line traditional Edo lullaby. Inspired by such pieces, Eaton appears to have amalgamated and re-interpreted their stylistic attributes in a manner that reflects the characteristic synthesis of Western and Eastern cultures in her early oeuvre, as is evinced in her alternation between Japanese and English.
