Keening

The sound of keening pierced the silence of the night, a heartbreaking lament for the deceased.

Her keening wails echoed through the funeral hall, filled with sorrow.

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 smell of rotten eggs filled the kitchen, indicating a gas leak.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

The collective keening of the crowd created an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grief.
