Epigram or elegy (4)

I believe the answer is:

poem

I believe this is a double definition.

'epigram' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'elegy' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for poem that I've seen before include "Mope about in verse" , "Piece of verse" , "Verse form" , "Mope (anag.)" , "Literary composition, sometimes in verse" .)

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