Keening

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

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

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.
