Keening

The sound of keening pierced the silence of the night, a heartbreaking lament for the deceased.

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Her keening wails echoed through the funeral hall, filled with sorrow.

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The keening of the steam whistle signaled the departure of the train from the platform.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

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

The collective keening of the crowd created an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grief.
