Keening

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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

The mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

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

The keening of the grieving widow touched the hearts of everyone present, evoking a sense of empathy and compassion.
