The Road Not Taken báseň, 1916

1
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
The Road Not Taken, Sloka 1, verš 1
2
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
The Road Not Taken, Sloka 2, verše 6 až 8
3
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
The Road Not Taken, Sloka 2, verše 9 až 12

4
Whose woods these are I think I know.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Sloka 1, verš 1
5
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Sloka 2, verše 5 až 8
6
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Sloka 3, verše 11 až 12
7
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Sloka 4, verš 13
8
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Sloka 4, verše 14 až 16

9
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Nothing Gold Can Stay, Sloka 1, verše 1 až 2
10
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Nothing Gold Can Stay, Sloka 1, verše 3 až 4
11
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
Nothing Gold Can Stay, Sloka 1, verše 5 až 6
12
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Nothing Gold Can Stay, Sloka 1, verše 7 až 8

13
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
Fire and Ice, Sloka 1, verše 1 až 2
14
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
Fire and Ice, Sloka 1, verše 3 až 4
15
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Fire and Ice, Sloka 1, verše 6 až 9
