Wh auden express his homosexuality in lullaby

Noons of dryness and nights of insult,I imagine,are life experiences. If so, what are they?
Are noons of dryness severe sterility and nights of insult mental torture?

what is the authors messege about the poem "lullaby"?

I have always felt an affinity between this poem and Voyages IV by Hart Crane. I quote the latter in part:

In all the argosy of your bright hair I dreamed/

Nothing so flagless as this piracy./

But now/

Draw in your head, alone and too tall here./ Your eyes already in the slant of drifting foam;/Your breath sealed by the ghosts I do not know:/ Draw in your head and sleep the long way home.

Bob Martin

How do we know Auden's 'Lullaby' isn't an expression of heterosexual love?

"Nights of insult" refers to infidelity (earlier he mentions his "faithless arm"). "Noons of dryness" I think refers to the narrator's absence.

I don't anyone on here is looking at the poem itself. People's comments on here are about his lifestyle. Look at the words and not at the person, and see where he is going in the poem and not in life. For all we know he could have focus this poem on anyone in his life and not him.

I found this poem really confusing. He was unfaith ful but the last two stanzas I do not understand and what do the two refrences to midnight mean. Did Someone Die?
