Keening

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

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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

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

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
