For that last Onset - when the King Be witnessed - in the Room -
believe the "King" is death since it does not state they enter the room, but their presence is a testimony. The stench of death is in the air.

With Blue - uncertain - stumbling Buzz - Between the light - and me - And then the Windows failed - and then I could not see to see -
Here, I believe Dickinson illustrates the soul's and body's indifference after death. "With Blue - uncertain - stumbling Buzz" "Between the light - and me" depicts the narrator's soul/humanity struggling to maintain its will to survive as it is drawn towards the light and away from the body. On the other hand, the line "And then the windows failed- and then i could not see-" means that the body is succumbing to death as the "windows failed" indicates the body not having he strength to keep it's eyes open thus "I could not see see to see" meaning I can see physically and spiritually.
