The mountains gathered round me

like bandits. Their leader

swaggered up close in the dark light,

full of threats, full of thunders.

But it was they who stood and delivered.

They gave me their money and their lives.

They filled me with mountains and thunders.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, 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 ________,

• as bare

• the same

• as good
