Keening

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The sailor set sail with a keening longing for adventure, eager to explore uncharted waters.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
