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 old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

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