The Road Not Taken – Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claimBecause it was grassy and wanted wear,Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere 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.

A Poison Tree by William Blake I was angry with my friend; I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears, Night & morning with my tears: And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night. Till it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole, When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning glad I see; My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Winter is ComingWinter is coming! The wind that blowsHard from the north, from the land of

snows,Nips the fingers and reddens the nose,

Whips the branches and tugs the clothesAnd strips the tree,

Till nothing is left of her yellow attire;And hoar frost streaks the chocolatey mire,

And crows string like crotchets along the wire,

And wanderers think of home and fire,And so do we.

--Shirley Hughes
