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.

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

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

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.

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