Part B: Two poems. The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a [|yellow wood], And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that, the passing thereHad worn them really about the same, 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. 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 traveled by,And that has made all the difference.] Fire and Ice Some say the [|world will end in fire]; Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo say that for[|destruction ice] Is also great And would suffice.
