Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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.
