Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

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

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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.
