Some poetry I liked

So I found this website that has condensed versions of a lot of books. You can find it at http://www.rinkworks.com/bookaminute/ , it's funny. One of my favorites is Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

But this one is just a poetry that I heard about and when I read it, I liked it.

Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920.
The Road Not Taken


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.
