Keening

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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