Can someone please tell me what Poe work contains the words, "two road diverge in the woods, I chose the one less traveled". I'm new to Poe's readings and I think those are the words.

This is not a work of Edgar Allan Poe. It is by Robert Lee Frost and I think it was written in 1915 but that may not be accurate. The poem follows:

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.
