Keening

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

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

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

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 keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.
