Keening

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

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

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.
