Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

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

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

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.
