Keening

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

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

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

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

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