The Road Not Taken
by robert frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; (Due 9/25)
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Had worn them really about the same, (Due 10/2)
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. (Due 10/23)

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. (Due 10/30)
