The Road Not Taken

-The Road Not Taken-
a poem 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."
