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 woman's keening pierced the night as she grieved the passing of her only son.

The sound of keening echoed through the empty halls of the castle.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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