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
