The Road Less Traveled
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 ju st 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 back. Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted i f I could ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and /... I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Ety: Robert Frost
