Question

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.

this means that the path which the poet finally takes had no leaf which was crushed and was not at all used by the people. this shows that people passing through there usually take the path which is easier
