Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

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

The mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

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 keening of the grieving widow touched the hearts of everyone present, evoking a sense of empathy and compassion.
