Sad; gloomy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doleful

I believe this is a double definition.

'sad' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'gloomy' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for doleful that I've seen before include "not happy?" , "Causing grief; sorrowful" , "Showing great melancholy" , "Mournful" , "Cheerless" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
