Keening

The sound of keening pierced the silence of the night, a heartbreaking lament for the deceased.

Her keening wails echoed through the funeral hall, filled with sorrow.

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 woman's keening pierced the night as she grieved the passing of her only son.

The sound of keening echoed through the empty halls of the castle.

The collective keening of the crowd created an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grief.
