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.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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.
