Paraphrasing:
The poet has stooped near the snowy woods. He first wonders who owns these Woods. In the same breath, he tells that he thinks he does know who owns them. The owner of the woods lives in the house in the village. He would not come to watch his woods. So, he would not get into trouble for trespassing on his land.
