Keening

The old woman's keening wails pierced the quiet night, mourning the loss of her husband.

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

The women of the village gathered to keening when they heard the news of the shipwreck.

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

The mother's keening could be heard as she grieved over the loss of her child.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
