Keening

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

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

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

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
