Keening

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.
