Keening

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

The ancient ritual involved participants keening together to honor their ancestors.

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

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

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.

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