Keening

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

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

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

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