Keening

The sound of keening pierced the silence of the night, a heartbreaking lament for the deceased.

Her keening wails echoed through the funeral hall, filled with sorrow.

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

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

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

The collective keening of the crowd created an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grief.
