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 mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

The keening of the grieving widow touched the hearts of everyone present, evoking a sense of empathy and compassion.
