Keening

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
