The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
