Keening

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

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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.

The haunting melody of keening echoed through the ancient ruins, commemorating the souls who had departed.
