"Put kojim nisam pošao", Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

U žutoj šumi račvala se puta dva,

And sorry I could not travel both

Tužan što ne mogu na obje strane

And be one traveler,

Jer putovah sam,

long I stood and looked down one as far as I could

stajao sam dugo I gledao dokle mi pogled seže

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Kako jedan nestade u gustome grmlju;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

I onda krenuh drugim, onim pravim,

And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Možda sam upravo tim putem trebao poći, Obraslog travom što čeka nove korake

Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

I mada sam znao, ako ne pođem tuda, Koračat ću ipak uvijek istim putem,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.

A toga su jutra oba puta bila prava Prekrivena lišćem nedirnutim, mirnim.

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

Da, išao sam prvim još cijeloga dana! Ali svi mi znamo da staze nas nose,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I ta sjenka sumnje stalno mi je govorila da se vratim nazad.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Ovo ću jednom s uzdahom reći,

Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

Negdje nakon mnogo dugih godina; U šumi račvala se puta dva, a ja-

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Krenuh onim kojim se rjeđe išlo, I nakon toga ništa nije bilo kao prije.
