Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

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

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

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
