The Road Not Taken

by: Robert Frost
I III
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And both that morning equally lay
And sorry I could not travel both In leaves no step had trodden black.
And be one traveler, long I stood Oh, I marked the first for another day!
And looked down one as far as I could Yet knowing how way leads on to way
To where it bent in the undergrowth; I doubted if I should ever come back.
II IV
Then took the other, as just as fair, I shall be telling this with a sigh
And having perhaps the better claim Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
Though as for that the passing there I took the one less traveled by,
Had worn them really about the same, And that has made all the difference.
