Paraphrasing:

The poet is not alone. He has a horse, and his horse is little. He and his little horse spend a lot of time together. The poet's horse finds it strange to stop at a place where there is no farmhouse nearby. It is the darkest evening of the year. White snow, a dark evening, and a frozen lake present a beautiful scene. The poet and his horse are feeling cold between the wood and the frozen lake. The poet wants to enjoy the beauty of nature. Therefore, he stops there.
