And sorry I could not travel both/And be one traveler, long I stood

And both that morning equally lay/In leaves no step had trodden black

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,/I took the one less traveled by

Based on the information in the poem, why might the second road have 'wanted wear' and been 'grassy'?
