A dirge is a funeral song. Why did Shelley choose that title for this poem?

Piffi:

is there any context-?

SmokeyBrown:

Hi, and welcome to QuestionCove! Is there anything about the poem that makes it similar to a dirge? Does the poem involve death or mourning, perhaps? Maybe the tone is somber and melancholy, like a funeral? Like Piffi suggested, it would be easier to help with the question if we had more context. For example, are you able to share the text of the poem with us? That way, we can try reading it and thinking about the question in more detail
