Hi Bogpan,
i found this one intriging, but a bit like Billy said not entirely sure why or what it was trying to convey.
Agree about the with before the why. I feel it is not required as it is confusing.
Because of the title it almost felt like a dialogue from a teacher to a classroom of kids. I am thinking that the referance to the nightingale and the white rose / morning are all linked to the Oscar Wilde "The nightingale and the rose"
But even with this thought in mind and all the rich images condensed and borrowed into your poem from this I am still at a loss to get the message of the poem - sorry...prob being a bit slow here.
But the same comment as Billy I do like the poem.

Children, forgotten the tales.
Forgotten
Hans Chr Andersen and
„The Nightingale”.
How shall I explain to you, oh, emperors,
the tears,
the white roses,
the morn.
How?
