Mary Gardiner Brainard (1837–1905) was an American writer of religious poetry.
Mary Gardiner Brainard was daughter of William Fowler Brainard (1784-1844), a New London lawyer, whose younger brother was the poet John Gardiner Calkins Brainard, and his second wife Sarah Ann Prentis.[1][2]
Her poem "Not Knowing" first appeared in The Congregationalist, March 1869, and was set to music as a hymn by Philip Paul Bliss in the 1870s.[3]
