This is the last stanza in the poem:

Himself has but to will And easy as a Star Abolish his Captivity -- And laugh --- No more have I

The last line is the one I highlighted though. When I first read this stanza, it took me a few tries to even grasp my mind around what the author was trying to say. Himself has but to will, leaves the impression that you have to will yourself, no one else can force you, to accomplish something, only you have the final say in what you do. Then the next line, And as easy as a Star, is a very opposite statement. Being a star is not easy, whether the author intended for this to sound like being a star, as in the center of attention I am not sure, but, all those people you see being stars out there, do not have it as easy as it looks. In fact, they have it much harder than anyone cares to imagine. Also seeing stars is not simple. There are only so many stars that we can see with the human eye, and we have to look through a telescope to even begin to see the vast context of the rest of the stars. Abolish his Captivity, means that someone, a man in this case, was keeping the narrator prisoner. Whether its internally that she is being kept prisoner or physically, it is not shown either way. The last line of the poem. And laugh --- No more have I. The narrator can now laugh looking back at what has befallen her in her time, and now she can laugh about it. She now has nothing more to say, no more to complain about. This could be one interpretation of the last line.
