"The Last Night that she Lived"

[elitespart]

I'm having trouble understand the line "A jealousy for her arose." Is the speaker saying that everyone else is jealous because the lady gets to die while they have to live or is the dying lady the one that's jealous?


The last Night that she lived,
It was a Common Night,
Except the Dying — this to us
Made Nature different.

We noticed smallest things—
Things overlooked before,
By this great light upon our Minds
Italicized — as ’twere.

As We went out and in
Between Her final Room
And Rooms where Those to be alive
Tomorrow were, a Blame

That Others could exist
While She must finish quite,
A Jealousy for Her arose
So nearly infinite—

We waited while she passed—
It was a narrow time—
Too jostled were Our Souls to speak
At length the notice came.

She mentioned, and forgot—
Then lightly as a Reed
Bent to the Water, struggled scarce—
Consented, and was dead—

And we — We placed the Hair—
And drew the head erect—
And then an awful leisure was
Belief to regulate—

This is wonderfully written and have some stuff needed in the making of a poem.
