Poem and Explanation
Stanza 1
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
diverged: separated and took a different direction
yellow wood: a forest with decomposing leaves
undergrowth: dense growth of plants and bushes means the forest)
Once the poet was walking down a road and then there was a diversion, there were
two different paths and he had to choose one out them. The poet says that as he was
one person, he could travel on one road only. He had to choose one out of these two
roads Yellow wood means a forest with leaves which are wearing out and they have
turned yellow in colour – the season of autumn. It represents a world which is full of
people, where people have been living for many years. They represent people who are
older than the poet. The poet kept standing there and looked at the path very carefully
as far as he could see it. Before taking the path, he wanted to know how it was. Was it
suitable for him or no. He was able to see the path till from where it curved after which
it was covered with trees and was hidden. It happens in our life also when we have
choices, we have alternatives, but we have to choose only one out of them, we take
time to think about the pros and cons, whether it is suitable for us or not and only
then, we take a decision on what path we should choose.

Then took the other, 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.
fair: As good as the other one,
claim: Better option
grassy: unused
wanted wear: had not been used
The poet kept on looking at one path for a long time to check if it is the right path for
him or not and them he decided and started walking on another path because he felt
that the both paths were equally good. He says just as fair, so, he felt that both paths
were equally good and started walking on one of them. He adds that maybe he felt
that the path was better for him so he chooses it as it had grass on it which means
that it was unused. Not many people had walked on this path earlier that is why this
path was grassy. ‘And wanted wear’ means that it was not walked over by many
people. After he walked on the path for some distance, he realized that both the paths
had been worm out the same way. Both the paths were similar and worn out. Even in
our life, we take any path or option but all of them have the same benefits,
disadvantages, problems, challenges and we must face them. We think that we are
choosing a better option, but it is not that way.

Stanza 3
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.
trodden means walked over.
The poet says that both the paths were similar that morning. Both had leaves on them
and no one had stepped on them as they were still green in colour. He decided that
that day he would take one path and keep the other path for another day, although he
knew that one way leads on to another way. He knew that he could not go back on the
choice that he had made. Similarly, even in our life once we choose an option, we must
keep on moving ahead with that option and we never get a chance to come back and
take the other option that we had left earlier.
Stanza 4
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 travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
sigh: deep breath
hence: here, in the future
He says that in the future, he will take a deep breath and say that once upon a time,
he had reached such a point in life that there were two options for him and he travelled
on that road which had been travelled upon by lesser number of people. That decision
of his decided his future. Similarly, in future, when you grow up, then you will say that
once upon a time, when you were young, you had two options. The choice that you
made, made you what you became of it. This is a very strong message for all the
students - that you should be wise and be careful while making choices out of the
options that you have in your life because your future depends on the choice that you
make today.
