Keening

The keening cries of the bereaved could be heard at the gravesite.

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

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The mourners' keening filled the air as they bid farewell to their beloved friend.

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

The keening of mourners echoed through the somber church as they bid farewell to their beloved pastor.

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

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