Detailed explanation-1: -In the poem, the speaker does take the road less traveled by, but in the end, he says he’ll tell the story with a sigh, which means he will probably regret his choice // will be sorry that he chose the more challenging path. We have to make choices in life and sometimes we regret those choices much later in life.
Detailed explanation-2: -“I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence” means someday, down the road, when I’m old and telling stories about my past, I’ll sigh and say that I took the road less traveled by and that’s what “made all the difference” in how my life turned out.
