Keening

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
