Adirge is a funeral song. why did shelley choose that title for this poem?

"Adirge is a funeral song. Why did Shelley choose this title for his poem? In 'A Dirge' by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the poem begins with the lines: 'Rough wind, that moanest loud, grief too sad for song; wild wind, when sullen cloud knells all the night long; sad storm, whose tears are vain, bare woods, whose branches strain, deep caves and dreary wail, for the world's wrong!' How do these elements contribute to the overall theme and emotional impact of the poem?"

The correct answer for this question is that Shelley called this poem a Dirge because it is so sad and somber. A dirge refers to a funeral song, so through the title Shelley is leading the reader to know exactly what to expect from the poem's atmosphere and tone.

The poem has got a sad tone, symbolized with a matching grief of nature, such as wild wind, sullen cloud and sad storm. The author reflects his own grief with nature's grief. Indeed, Shelly dedicated the poem to his friend, English Romantic poet John Keats and to his son after the untimely the death of the poet and his son. The correct and logical answer among the multiple choices is the third option.
