Mournful song (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

elegy

dirge

'mournful song' is the definition.
(piece of music lamenting the dead)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dirge that I've seen before include "Dreary song" , "dreary tune" , "Lamentation" , "Slow, sad song" , "air?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Independent, The Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian and The Mirror.
