The Road Not Taken

Two roadsdiverged in a yellow wood

And sorry Icould not travel both

And be onetraveler, long I stood

And lookeddown one as far as I could

To where itbent in the undergrowth

Then took theother, a just as fair

And having perhapsthe better claim

Because itswas grassy and wanted wear

Though as forthat the passing there

Had worn themreally about the same

And Both thatmorning equally lay

In leaves nostep had trodden black

Oh, I keptthe first for another day

Yet know howway leads on to way

I doubted ifI should ever come back

I shall betelling this with a sign

Somewhereages and ages hence

Tow roadsdiverged in a wood, and I

I took theone less traveled by,

And that hasmade all the difference 

=======================

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woodsthese are I think I know

His house isin the village though

He will notsee me stopping here

To watch hiswoods fill up with snow

My littlehorse must think it queer

To stopwithout a farmhouse near

Between thewoods and frozen lake

The darkestevening of the year

He gives hisharness bells a shake

To ask ifthere is some mistake

The onlyother sound’s the sweep

Of easy windand downy flake

The woods arelovely, dark and deep

But I havepromises to keep

And miles togo before I sleep

And miles togo before I sleep
