The last stanza is much debated but there are a few clues as to its meaning. Firstly, the narrator tell us with a 'sigh' which seems to indicate regret. We know that the narrator is now speaking a long time later as he refers to the choice of path he made as being in the past. "
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:"
This gives the reader a sense of the future. The narrator seems to indicate that he chose the less traveled road and that, that one choice in his life had made all the difference.
