Keening

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

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 patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

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

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.
