The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

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 And both that morning equally lay
To where it bent in the undergrowth; In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Then took the other, as just as fair, Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
And having perhaps the better claim, I doubted if I should ever come back.
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there I shall be telling this with a sigh
Had worn them really about the same, 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.
“Time to Talk” by Robert Frost
“When a friend calls me from the road
and slows his horse to a meaning walk
I don‘t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed
And shout from where I am, ‘What is it?’
No, not as there is time to talk
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground
Blade-end up and five feet tall
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit
The world was made for all
And I will go to see the one I love”
