Poetic lament (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegy

'poetic lament' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for elegy that I've seen before include "Sad or reflective poem" , "that may be on the dead" , "Poetic lament (in a country churchyard?)" , "Requiem" , "Mournful verse" .)

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