Keening

The sound of keening pierced the silence of the night, a heartbreaking lament for the deceased.

Her keening wails echoed through the funeral hall, filled with sorrow.

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

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

The collective keening of the crowd created an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grief.
