-> The Road not Taken <- -> by Robert frost <-
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, ^ And sorry I could not travel both ^ And 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, as 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 way leads on to way, ^ I doubted if I should ever come back. ^
I shall be telling this with a sigh ^ Somewhere ages and ages hence: ^ Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— ^ I took the one less traveled by, ^ And that has made all the difference. ^
