Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

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

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

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