Keening

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

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

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

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.

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