Keening

The keening cry of the baby echoed through the quiet night.

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

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for the arrival of her absent father.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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.
