Grandfather finds out at night

From My Grandfather's Pen (1968-69)

Grandfather finds out at night:
He fled to America,the first-born son.
Grandfather finds out at night:
The youngest girl, seventeen, gone.

Grandfather finds out at night:
His father, Crown of Amdur, gone to his rest.
Grandfather finds out at night:
His kiddush wine is gall to the taste.

Grandfather finds out at night:
Something in his body frustrates him.
Grandfather finds out at night:
Next year his pen will be without --

So faster
Bring letters together
In permutation.
