Keening

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

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

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

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

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