Keening

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

The keening cries of the bereaved could be heard at the gravesite.

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

The mourners' keening filled the air as they bid farewell to their beloved friend.

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

The keening of mourners echoed through the somber church as they bid farewell to their beloved pastor.

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