Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

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

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

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

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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.
