Keening

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

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

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

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