Keening

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

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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

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