Keening

The keening cry of the baby echoed through the quiet night.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for the arrival of her absent father.

The abandoned puppy let out a keening howl, desperately yearning for someone to rescue it.

The wounded animal emitted a keening cry, pleading for help.

The piercing sound of keening could be heard from miles away, signaling the loss of a respected community leader.

The keening howls of the wolf pierced the silence of the night.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.
