Keening

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

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

The old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
