I shall be telling this with a sighI shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –

I took the one less traveled by,I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the And that has made all the difference…difference…

The woods are lovely, dark, and The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,deep,

But I have promises to keep,But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before sleep,And miles to go before sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep…And miles to go before I sleep…

A time to talkA time to talk

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,Blade-end up and five feet tall,

And plod: I go up to the stone wallFor a friendly visit…

Fire and iceFire and ice

Some say the world will end in fire,Some say the world will end in fire,Some say in ice.Some say in ice.From what I've tasted of desireFrom what I've tasted of desireI hold with those who favor fire.I hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateI think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatIs also greatAnd would suffice. And would suffice.
