H.D The City is Peopled
I read this poem as H.D telling someone that they love them. It is almost like she was saying - through all of the people in the world, I only have eyes for you or I only love you. Although I thought this was the main idea of the poem, I was confused by the idea of spirits vs. ghosts and what she was trying to tell the reader by saying this.

I find it interesting that we both got different meanings out of this poem. However, I can see where your meaning comes from in the story. I think that is the most interesting part about poetry, that it can be interpreted many different ways.
I totally did not even see that meaning until you posted this. Maybe the spirits represent a kind of 'living' you get when you are in love and the ghosts are those people who have not yet found it. So the spirits/people in love bring life and beauty to everything else.
