The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

Ane be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;


Then took the other, just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,


And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how the way leads onto way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.


I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads divirged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
