Keening

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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

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

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
