Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, 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

I do like poetry and Robert Frost is one poet I do enjoy!
boo has this poem memorized.
they memorize poems at her school like in the old days.
have her recite it to you next time you see her.
I too like Robert Frost. I may have read this before but I don't remember it. Thanks for posting it. I am glad to read that boo memorizes poems. Grandma Carrie often quoted poems that she had memorized. The words to hymns and scriptures is a good thing to memorize too. Do so while you are young. I am too old to do so but I admire those who can.
And that has made all the difference.
