The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost


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.

In the beginning of the poem, Frost, writes in an melancholy tone. This can be seen in the section where he says “and sorry I could not travel both”. As the poem continues it as if he is glad that he took the road less traveled because it proposed more opportunities and has made a better impact. This can be seen in the following section “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. Overall, I believe that the theme of the poem is change and in this case, for the better.

Hope this helps! :)
You might want to change some stuff though (just a rough draft)
