The Road Not Taken. By Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And being one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the underbrush; Then to the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing time Had worn them both about the same, Abd both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come bacl. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
