Keening

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

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.

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