By Robert Frost <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I\u2014
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
