The Road Not Taken [SSC4 Poetry Challenge]

[Verse] 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, [Chorus] In the yellow wood, I stood alone, Two paths before me, fate unknown, I took the one less traveled by, And that made all the difference, now I rise! [Verse] 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. [Chorus] In the yellow wood, I stood alone, Two paths before me, fate unknown, I took the one less traveled by, And that made all the difference, now!
