Keening

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

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

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

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.
