Mournful song when ridge collapsed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dirge

'mournful song' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ridge collapsed' is the wordplay.
'collapsed' is an anagram indicator.
'ridge' is an anagram of 'DIRGE'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dirge that I've seen before include "air?" , "A slow mournful song, lament for the dead" , "Lamentation" , "Dreary song" , "Requiem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
