Keening

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

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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

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