Keening

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

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

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