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 keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The character in the horror movie let out a keening scream that sent chills down the audience's spine.
