Keening

The keening cry of the baby echoed through the quiet night.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for the arrival of her absent father.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

The artist's brush moved across the canvas with a keening grace, expressing her deep longing for freedom.
