Keening

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

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

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

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.

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