Keening

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

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

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

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.
