Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

The keening mother clutched her child's lifeless body, unable to contain her grief.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for her father's return.

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

The keening howl of the lost child echoed through the forest, raising concern among the search party.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
