It means the road on
which the poet was walking that day branched off into two directions and
disappeared into the tall grass and smaller vegetation. Metaphorically the poet
is talking about the uncertainty of life. The road actually is symbolic of
life; and the point at which the road branched off into two different
directions was the two choices he had to opt for. The first choice was should
he stay in America? The second was should he go to England and try his luck as
poet there? He was not sure he would be successful there. So this conflicting
situation has been compared to the road that bent and disappeared in the
undergrowth.
