The poem is about Santa Claus.
The man isn't certain whose woods they are, but knows exactly where the man's house is and what he is doing. (He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake).
"Little horse" is a metaphor for "reindeer". He thinks it is queer to stop without a farmhouse near because Santa ALWAYS stops at houses. He is also decked out in sleigh bells. (Harness bells a shake).
The promises to keep is the promise Santa makes to every good boy and girl. The miles to go are the miles and miles he will travel around the world.
