The Road Not Taken

• Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,


  1.
• And sorry I could not travel both


  2.
• And be one traveler, long I stood


  3.
• And looked down one as far as I could


  4.
• To where it bent in the undergrowth;


  5.
• Then took the other, as just as fair,


  6.
• And having perhaps the better claim,


  7.
• Because it was grassy and wanted wear;


  8.
• Though as for that the passing there


  9.
• Had worn them really about the same,


  10.
• And both that morning equally lay


  11.
• In leaves no step had trodden black.


  12.
• Oh, I kept the first for another day!


  13.
• Yet knowing how way leads on to way,


  14.
• I doubted if I should ever come back.


  15.
• I shall be telling this with a sigh


  16.
• Somewhere ages and ages hence:


  17.
• Two roads diverged in a wood, and I---


  18.
• I took the one less traveled by,


  19.
• And that has made all the difference.
