Keening

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

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

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.
