1. DEEP IN THE WOODS
Twopoemsby Robert Frost

2. The Road NotTaken
3. Tworoadsdiverged in a yellowwood,
Andsorry I couldnottravelboth
Andbeonetraveller, long I stood
Andlookeddownone as far as I could
Towhere it bent in theundergrowth;
4. Thentooktheother, as just as fair,
Andhavingperhapsthebetterclaim,
Because it wasgrassyandwantedwear;
Though as for thatthepassingthere
Hadwornthemreallyaboutthesame,
5. Andboththatmorningequallylay
In leaves no stephadtroddenblack.
Oh, I keptthefirst for anotherday!
Yetknowinghowway leads ontoway,
I doubtedif I shouldever come back.
6. I shallbetellingthiswith a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Tworoadsdiverged in a wood, and I
I tooktheonelesstravelledby,
Andthathasmadeallthedifference.
7. Stoppingby Woods on a SnowyEvening
8. Whosewoodsthese are I think I know.
His houseis in thevillagethough;
He willnotsee me stoppinghere
Towatchhiswoodsfillupwithsnow.
9. Mylittlehorse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhousenear
Betweenthewoodsandfrozenlake
The darkesteveningoftheyear.
10. He giveshisharnessbells a shake
Toaskifthereis some mistake.
The onlyothersoundsthesweep
Ofeasywindanddownyflake.
11. The woods are lovely, darkanddeep,
But I havepromisestokeep,
Andmilesto go before I sleep,
Andmilesto go before I sleep.
