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

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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