Somewhere or other there must surely be
The face not seen, the voice not heard,
The heart that not yet - never yet - ah me !
Made answer to my word.

Somewhere or other, may be near or far ;
Past land and sea, clean out of sight ;
Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the star
That tracks her night by night. [line 8]

Somewhere or other, may be far or near ;
With just a wall, a hedge, between ;
With just the last leaves of the dying year
Fallen on a turf grown green.

In its context, “tracks” (line 8) implies that the star
A. marks the sky at night
B. is a sportsman
C. is hunting
D. is seeking the speaker’s love
E. leads the way

The correct answer is C, but how can you really tell? The wording is very unclear, especially since the sentence isn’t in the same line as the line about the moon. I put D. I automatically assumed the “her” was the owner of the face, voice, and heart.
