Keening

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

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 abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

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