Keening

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

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

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

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

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

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