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

A Dirge
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
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 main,--
Wall, for the world's wrong!
