Keening

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

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 injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.

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