Keening

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

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

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

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

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.

The haunting melody of keening echoed through the ancient ruins, commemorating the souls who had departed.
