Keening

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

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

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
