dirge
A dirge is a somber song or lament expressing mourning or grief, such as would be appropriate for performance at a funeral. The English word ''dirge'' is derived from the Latin ''Dirige, Domine, Deus meus, in conspectu tuo viam meam'' ("Direct my way in your sight, O Lord my God"), the first words of the first antiphon in the Matins of the Office for the Dead, created on basis of Ps. 5:9. The original meaning of ''dirge'' in English referred to this office.
A well known Christian funeral lament from the Cleveland area of north-east Yorkshire is known as the Lyke Wake Dirge and is well known from its association with the Lyke Wake Walk, a 40-mile challenge walk across the moorlands of north-east Yorkshire 〔Cowley, Bill (1959). Lyke Wake Walk (1st edition). Dalesman Books.〕 and as the members' anthem of the Lyke Wake Club, a society whose members are those who have completed the walk within 24 hours.〔http://www.lykewake.org/dirge.php〕
