Keening

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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

The singer's voice soared in a beautiful keening note, captivating the audience.

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
