Keening

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

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

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

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

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
