A lament (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dirge

'a lament' is the definition.
(I know that lament can be written as dirge)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dirge that I've seen before include "lamentable composition" , "Dragging piece" , "Funeral hymn" , "Slow, sad song" , "Funeral music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
