Dr. Dwijendranath Moitra, founder of the Bengal Social Service League, was affectionate to Rabindranath. He had accompanied Rabindranath on his way to America from Europe in 1912. He had shared his experience of listening to this song -
... We were sailing to America. ... Gitanjali in English was yet to be published. ... Late in the night - close to dawn - quarter to four. Rocking of the ship had aroused me. I looked at the other side of the cabin, it was the poet sitting on a couch beside the port hole and murmuring a song. ... His gorgeous face flushed with faint light from outside; he was seated in prayer. He sang - Ei to tomar prem ogo ... .
This song has two notations, one prepared by Dinendranath Tagore in Kawali (Kaharwa) and the other by Surendranath Bandopadhyay in Ektaal. They have a small difference in lyrics too.

Ei-je tomar prem, ogo hridayoharono, Ei-je paatay aalo naache sonar barono. Ei-je modhur aalosbhare megh bhese jaay aakash-pare, Ei-je baatas dehe kore amritokharono. Probhat-aalor dhaaray aamar nayon bheshechhe, Ei tomari premer baani praane esechhe. Tomari mukh oi nuyechhe, mukhe aamar chokh thuyechhe, Aamar hridoy aaj chhnuyechhe tomari charono.
