Keening

The sound of keening pierced the silence of the night, a heartbreaking lament for the deceased.

Her keening wails echoed through the funeral hall, filled with sorrow.

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

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

The piercing sound of keening could be heard from miles away, signaling the loss of a respected community leader.

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

The collective keening of the crowd created an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grief.
