The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Bulacan
2010

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.



-The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost from Mountain Interval (1916)



I took the road less traveled...and I am never the same.

  3. Even if it was the most difficult path I've ever taken, I would still take it. And hopefully next time I pass by the same road, I know better.
