The song Tears (Slzy), H 41, is like the song The End of Everything (Konec všemu), H 43, dedicated to an unspecified Vilma. This is probably Miss Vilma H., to whom the piano piece Ballad of Miss Vilma's Umbrella (Balada o deštníku slečny Vilmy), H 65, is also dedicated. The recording of the composition was released for the first time by Naxos in 2011 (Martinů: Songs, Vol. 1 – A Wreath of Carnations; Jana Wallingerová, Giorgio Koukl).
