Keening

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

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

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

The haunting sound of keening echoed through the village as news of the tragedy spread.

The keening mother held her child's lifeless body, overcome with grief.
