Keening

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

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.
