    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; (5) 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‚ (10) And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black
