Gabriel H. Barbour, The Canadian Soldiers' Song Book… (1918)
“ Kind, kind and gentle is she, Kind is my Mary, The tender blossom on the tree, Cannot compare wi' Mary, Her brow is fair as winter's snow, Her cheek's wi' modest roses blow, And dove-like glances sweetly flow, Frae oot the e'en o' Mary, Sae kind, kind and gentle is she, Kind is my Mary, The tender blossom on the tree, Cannot compare wi' Mary. See yon proud and haughty lass, Her head wi' pride and folly toss'd Ne'er look on her, but let her pass, Be sure it is not Mary, Sae kind, kind and gentle is she, Kind is my Mary, The tender blossom on the tree, Cannot compare wi' Mary. ”
