"The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And both that morning equally lay
And sorry I could not travel both In leaves no step had trodden black.
And be one traveler, long I stood Oh, I kept the first for another day!
And looked down one as far as I could Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
To where it bent in the undergrowth; I doubted if I should ever come back.

Then took the other, as just as fair, I shall be telling this with a sigh
And having perhaps the better claim, Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
Though as for that the passing there I took the one less traveled by,
Had worn them really about the same, And that has made all the difference.
Explanation
In "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, the author reflects on a moment in the
past when he stood at a crossroads and had to choose between two paths, both
of which seemed good for his life. The poem explores the theme of choice and
consequence, illustrating how decisions, even seemingly small ones, shape the
course of our lives. Written in the past tense, it explains feelings of indecision,
nostalgia, and regret. The speaker imagines that his choice, the road "less
traveled by," "has made all the difference," but the poem hints at the human
tendency to romanticize and reflect with longing on the path not taken.
Ultimately, it suggests that while we may never truly know how different choices
might have played out, they are important to the life we lead today.
