Keening

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

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
