Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken

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 is a famous poem written by Robert Frost. In my opinion,in the beginning,author wants to talk to readers that sometimes we have to make choose in our life and we have two rode to continue our life,but we can't choose two on the same time.As a result of if you regret you choose and want to choose the other road,then you have waste many time and have to waste more time walk the other road again. And now he compared two roads,one is curved road in the undergrowth.The other road is a grassy road and seems to be the better coose than the other one.However,next morning is coming and he alo nade choose.Finally,he walk on the road he choose and he think if he has to come back one day,he want telling with a sign in his every age.He took the roda which less traveler will choose and everythine become different.
