Two of My Favourite Poems

[Reckless]

These are two of my fav poems the first one by Robert Frost and the other one by emily Bronte, i hope u enjoy them both

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by Robert Frost


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.
This has always been one of my favorites as I've found myself faced with those "two roads diverged" so many times in my life. I'm thinking you may now be viewing "two roads diverged" now as you are about to graduate and I know you will be many other times in your lives.

Often rebuked, yet always back returning

Often rebuked, yet always back returning
To those first feelings that were born with me,
And leaving busy chase of wealth and learning
For idle dreams of things which cannot be:
To-day, I will seek not the shadowy region;
Its unsustaining vastness waxes drear;
And visions rising, legion after legion,
Bring the unreal world too strangely near.

I'll walk, but not in old heroic traces,
And not in paths of high morality,
And not among the half-distinguished faces,
The clouded forms of long-past history.

I'll walk where my own nature would be leading:
It vexes me to choose another guide:
Where the gray flocks in ferny glens are feeding;
Where the wild wind blows on the mountain side

What have those lonely mountains worth revealing?
More glory and more grief than I can tell:
The earth that wakes one human heart to feeling
Can centre both the worlds of Heaven and Hell.

They are really powerful poems especially the first one , coz as you've said I'm about to graduate, and there will be one path to take, no way back,,,,,
I really like reading and composing poems, you will read some so soon
Thanks so much for sharing'em with us dear Reckless
Keep it up

It is a wonderful poem and by a great poet.Just watch he took the road less taken
I took the one less traveled by.
This made him different but He paid a huge price .he traveled alone for the road is not traveled by many .if you take this choice expect loneliness and the company of misery

They're touching and I loved them both

Thanks dear
