Keening

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

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

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 lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.
