Mournful poem (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegy

'mournful poem' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for elegy that I've seen before include "Poem penned beside church" , "Sad or reflective poem" , "Poem for the departed" , "Poem as Gray's in churchyard" , "A sorrowful poem - Gray wrote a famous one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Penny Press, The New York Times, The Times, The Telegraph, the Universal and The Wall Street Journal.
