Keening

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

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

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

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

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