Your sentence is grammatically correct and understandable to anyone who speaks English, but you might want to be more specific: you can listen to the audio version of the poem on your computer, smartphone, or any other digital device that can play MP3 files.

As @Torsten said, it depends on the situation. The original sentence sounds a bit like a command. The sentence may be correct for some situations, but does it actually say what you want it to say.
