The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And be one traveler, long I stood
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
And having perhaps the better claim,
Though as for that, the passing there

And both that morning equally lay
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
I took the one less traveled by,
And sorry I could not travel both
And looked down one as far as I could
Then took the other, as just as fair,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Had worn them really about the same,

In leaves no step had trodden black.
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
And that has made all the difference.

—Robert Frost
