My interpretation of the last part of the poem is a little different. To
me, "The wood wakes" communicates the idea of bramble and "low boughs"
parting as another person enters the forest. Therefore, the annonymous
character is the hero/heroine; the main character isn't taking credit for
his own recovery.

Frost's recurring use of 'forest' as a metaphor for mental illness is
evident in this poem. He is basically saying that "I was depressed and you
tried to understand, but you were not willing to go insane to do that. I
had to come to you; you could not come to me. I saw you waiting to help
me. I wanted to thank you. I responded and am healthy again."

"And the sweet pang it cost me not to call" --
Epitome of the poem? The poet certainly felt this.
