From The Sun, October 18, 1914.

Things quiet seem among the stars,
    And that is quite a boon.
There is no turbulence on Mars,
    No warfare on the moon.

The other planets seem benign
    As peacefully they glow.
On none of them we see a sign
    Of violence or woe.

While this war is the biggest fight
    That ever time brought forth,
It looks at least as if we might
    Confine it to the earth.
