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.
