The Home Circle.
WHICH ROAD WOULD YOU TAKE ? If you could go back to the forks of the road— Back the long miles you have carried the load; Back to the place where you had to decide By this way or that through your life to abide: Back of the sorrow and back of the care; Back to the place where the future was fair — If you were there now, a decision to make, Oh, pilgrim of sorrow, which road would you take ? Then, after you’d trodden the other long track, Suppose that again to the forks you went back, After you found that its promises fair Were but a delusion that led to a snare— That the road you first travelled with sighs and unrest, Though dreary and rough, was most graciously blest With a balm for each braise and a charm for each ache— Oh, pilgrim of sorrow, which road would you take ? —Selected.
