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." | |
