This paper analyses the poem The Road Not Takenfrom the view of textual cohesion. From an analysis of the poem’s cohesion devices: anaphora, substitution and reappearance, we find that cohesive effects can be achieved by those different grammatical and lexical devices. Textual analysis and cohesion analysis can be effectively used to analysis poems for the characters of poems.
