"The passing there" refers to traffic, probably on foot just like our speaker, that may have worn the paths down. ![]() The "as for that" refers to the path being less worn.The speaker of this poem really can't seem to make up his mind! Just when we think we've got a declaration about which path is better, he changes his mind and admits that maybe they were equal after all."Wanted," in this instance, means something more like "lacked."
