"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

1. 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;

6. 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,

11. And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
