Keening

The keening stench of decay emanated from the garbage dumpster, making it difficult to pass by.

The keening voices of the choir conveyed the deep sorrow of the funeral service.

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

The somber, keening notes of the bagpipes filled the air at the memorial service, evoking a sense of solemnity and remembrance.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

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