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;
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.

What a beautiful poem. Did he write the poem about ..I used to be a swinger of birches also?
I definitely take the road less traveled. My mother used to tell me that my faults and tragedies in my life built character.
I am a Christian that believes in Capital punishment, free choice concerning abortion and freedom through military victory.
I reread the poem and I feel peaceful.
I am now going to go to the library with my children and check out a book on Robert Frost!! I may look into other Authors on poetry also. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Peace out.

Yes because a road that has had many pass upon it will be less likely to surprise or be as it once was. Better to travel the road less taken if only for a glimpse at what might be.

Taking the road less traveled has truly made all the difference in the world....and because of that I've been able to see the world (in a Christian Drama Ministry)

I got off the road entirely and cleared my own path.

Well in my society my road is less traveled. Elsewhere it is a given that I take it.

Yep. Not a very popular one either, but I'm not in it for the popularity contest.
