Answer:

(C) Immortality Ode

Step-by-step explanation:

The line "Trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, Who is our Home!" is taken from the poem Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by William Wordsworth.

So the answer is (C).

The poem is about Wordsworth's childhood memories and his sense of loss of innocence and wonder of childhood. The line "Trailing clouds of glory" refers to the idea that we are all born with a sense of divinity, but this sense fades as we grow older and become more aware of the world's imperfections.

The other poems you mentioned are also by William Wordsworth, but they do not contain the line "Trailing clouds of glory."

  • The Excursion is a long poem about the importance of nature and the need for humans to live in harmony with it.
  • Tintern Abbey is a shorter poem about Wordsworth's memories of a visit to Tintern Abbey in Wales.
  • Prelude is a long autobiographical poem about Wordsworth's life and development as a poet.
