Keening

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

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 keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The character in the horror movie let out a keening scream that sent chills down the audience's spine.
