After Twenty Years" tells the story of two friends who made a pact to meet at a specific time and place. Bob, a noted criminal from Chicago, arrives on time and speaks to a policeman who happens to be walking by. Later, it's revealed that this policeman was Jimmy Wells, Bob's friend.
Bob and Jimmy were friends when they were younger. Before Bob left to try his luck in the West, he and Jimmy made a pact to meet again exactly twenty years later.
At the appointed time, Bob waits outside a hardware store. A policeman walks up and asks what he's doing. Bob explains, boasting about how well he has done for himself.
Later, a man claiming to be Bob's friend arrives. It turns out that this man is a plainclothes police officer sent to arrest Bob, a known criminal from Chicago. The original policeman, Jimmy Wells, didn't have the heart to arrest Bob, because Bob was his friend.

Anonymous:
The poem is about someone (unnamed) visiting his old school after twenty years, and meeting a friend (Tom). The speaker of the poem talks to his friend, and talks about how much has changed in twenty years. The old schoolteacher is buried in the cemetery up on the hill; Tom's girlfriend and the speaker's girlfriend both seem to be dead, and the trees are much bigger than they used to be.
thanks
The speaker of the poem seems surprised that trees grow and people age over twenty years; clearly the educational program at this particular school was somewhat lacking.
The last verse seems to suggest that almost all the old schoolfellows are now dead except Tom and the speaker of the poem. Since one normally leaves school at around the age of seventeen (or earlier) most of the folk at this school seem to be dead before they turn forty.
Ok
