Two doors diverged in the hall,
And sorry I could not open both,
And being a dog, long I stood,
And looked at one as long I could
But it did not open.
Then looked at the other, just as long,
And being perhaps the better claim,
Because behind it I could hear,
quiet typing there.
Behind the other, no sound at all,
And both that morning equally closed,
Preventing me to travel on.
Oh to have a pair of thumbs!
Yet knowing the way of one,
I doubted I would like the other.
I shall be barking yet again,
Out here in the hall;
Two doors diverged in the hall, and I –
I barked at the one more traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
