I am stated thinking of my shool days once i saw the poet name...
" The Road Not Taken " by Robert Frost...
First let me start giving you about a gidt of Robert Frost later on
continue the famous poem...
Robert Frost (1874-1963), American poet, b. San Francisco. Perhaps the
most popular and beloved of 20th-century American poets, Frost wrote
of the character, people, and landscape of New England. In 1912 he
went to England, where he received his first acclaim as a poet. After
the publication of A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914), he
returned to the United States, settling on a farm near Franconia, N.H.
Frost taught and lectured at several universities, including Amherst,
Harvard, and the Univ. of Michigan
Here's the poem
Enjoy ..................
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; 5
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, 10
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. 15
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. 20
