Keening

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

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

The old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

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