Melancholic poem (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegy

(Other definitions for elegy that I've seen before include "Poem as Gray's in churchyard" , "Poem of mourning" , "Song of lamentation" , "Poetic lament (in a country churchyard?)" , "Mournful verse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
