Question

Explanation:

The "azure stars" are described as having known the sorrows of centuries and then "with silver crowned me there, remote and lone." The silver - likely referring to the light of the stars - shines down on the speaker who is in a state of isolation. This imagery suggests the stars are shining on the speaker's head, acknowledging his isolation.

Answer:

C. The stars shine down on the speaker's head, acknowledging his isolation.
