Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

The keening cry of the baby echoed through the quiet night.

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

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for the arrival of her absent father.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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