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

And that has made all the difference.

A cherry-tree in bloom;
And
Christ who died upon a tree
That death had stricken bare,
Comes
beautifully back to me,
In blossoms, everywhere.
