Lament for the dead (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

elegy

dirge

'lament for the dead' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dirge that I've seen before include "No joy in this music" , "lamentable composition" , "Dragging piece" , "Dreary song" , "Keen; lament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Irish Times and The Times.
