Two roads diverged1 in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I could[5]To where it bent in the undergrowth;2Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted3 wear;Though as for that the passing there[10]Had worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden4 black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,[15]I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,[20]And that has made all the difference.

2Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted3 wear;Though as for that the passing there[10]Had worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden4 black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,[15]I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,[20]And that has made all the difference.

And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden4 black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,[15]I doubted if I should ever come back.

Reflect on the significance of the roads being ‘equally lay in leaves no step hadtrodden black.’ How does this speak to the opportunities life presents to us?

What did the speaker notice about the two roads?
