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;
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.
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;
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.
I like this poem because of
some people that regret not taking the road they want to take because of a
certain reason or cause. -Jacky Vergil
I agree with your reasoning for liking this poem. Everyone is pressured into making decisions for others rather than themselves in the modern day.-Mati
ReplyDeleteI've heard this poem before, and I almost always enjoy hearing it because this poem says it isn't always bad to take the route less traveled.

I like this poem a lot, it does a really good job of summarizing what decision making is like in the modern day. Donovan Ridley
ReplyDeleteThis was my favorite poem when I was younger. JFK used to say this one a lot.
