It is interesting for the speaker to note that the horse that accompanies them on their journey cannot understand that the speaker has simply stopped to look at the forest.

But it can also be interpreted as a reference to the most difficult times in a person's life. "The darkest night in the world. Also, the narrator seems to be a considerate character, interpreting the horse's thoughts. The horse seems  surprised by this sudden "break" through the forest. As the verse indicates, the intensity of the winter cold has frozen over the lake.

But the wayward narrator seems to revere the immediate present as opposed to the impending danger. The narrator hints at the immense darkness that awaits them. In the woods, the night can be extremely distressing for the weary traveler miles  from home. The speaker is again torn between two options, return home or enjoy the panoramic view.

Themes of Poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost

    Frost addresses themes of  exhaustion, fatigue, depression, optimism, and abandonment in this poem. Your speaker feels out of place and out of time. He is completely alone in the world at least at this moment and has a small sense of the calm and isolation that only nature can provide. There are darker undertones in this poem as well. The suggestion of "sleep" has reminded some of death/suicide and a desire for permanent escape from the demands of everyday life. 

Also, the poet reminds the reader that life does not end no matter how isolated  a person is from it. or your life for a long time, you could lose it completely. At the end of the poem, the narrator returns to their journey, awaiting the end of the darkest night of the year and the sleep, or perhaps death, they have won.
