Keening

The keening cry of the baby echoed through the quiet night.

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the sidewalk.

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

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for the arrival of her absent father.

The keening of the steam whistle signaled the departure of the train from the platform.

The artist's brush moved across the canvas with a keening grace, expressing her deep longing for freedom.

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