Keening

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

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

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.
