Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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

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

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