Keening

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

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.
