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.
1) Symbolism: The Roads symbolises Choices we make
Personfication: One of the roads wanted wear
2)I like this poem as it has many hidden meanings in it. It also has some uses of figurative language such as personification and symbolism. It may not be easy to understand the hidden meaning of the poem, but after you do, the poem is very interesting and very meaningful.
