Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

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

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

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

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
