Betim Muco Poet I do not know?

Beethoven's Death

He hardly heard a distant tune
But he was deaf
And his heart hindered him
Beating in his chest 
Monotonously

He said to it
Please be quiet
Stop
Because I’m not able
To distinguish the notes

And the one that was disobedient its whole life 
Obeyed 
And stopped
