Alas, I can provide little information on the composer Herman Huyts.  I presume he was Belgian (as one of his works was an 'Album Belge' for piano.  He seems to have been active as a composer of light piano pieces in the 1910s and 1920s.  This piece, from 1918, blends sentimentality with a directness of expression (the piano textures are unvaried throughout) and the English title seems to have been used in both English and French editions.

My thumbnail features a detail from 'À bientôt' (See you soon) by Valentine Cameron Prinsep  (1838–1904).
