  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
  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.

chosen.content: The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost is an optimistic poem, as evidenced by the last line "And that has made all the difference." Although there are pessimistic lines-- "And sorry I could not travel both", "I doubted if I should ever come back", "I shall be telling this with a sigh"-- the final line shows a sense of contentment with the traveler's ultimate decision to take the road less traveled.
