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 there.
Had 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.

Jalan yang Tidak Kutempuh

Dua jalan bercabang dalam remang hutan kehidupan,
Dan sayang aku tidak bisa menempuh keduanya.
Dan menjadi sebagai pengembara, aku berdiri lama.
Dan memandang ke satu jalan sejauh aku bisa.
Ke mana kelokannya mengarah di balik semak belukar;

Kemudian aku memandang yang satunya, sama baiknya.
Dan mungkin malah lebih baik,
Karena jalan itu segar dan mengundang;
Meskipun tapak yang telah melewatinya.
Juga telah merundukkan rerumputannya,

Dan pagi itu keduanya sama-sama membentang.
Di bawah hamparan dedauan rontok yang belum terusik.
Oh, kusimpan jalan pertama untuk lain kali!
Meski tahu semua jalan berkaitan,
Aku ragu akan pernah kembali.

Aku akan menuturkannya sambil menghela napas.
Suatu saat berabad-abad mendatang:
Dua jalan bercabang di hutan, dan aku–
Aku menempuh jalan yang jarang dilalui,
Dan itu mengubah segalanya.
