Poem of lament (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegy

'poem of lament' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for elegy that I've seen before include "A sorrowful poem - Gray wrote a famous one" , "Mournful song or poem" , "Work by Gray?" , "Dirge" , "Poem of mourning" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the LA Times.
