Keening

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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.
