Keening

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

The ancient ritual involved participants keening together to honor their ancestors.

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.

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
