Keening

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

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

The old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

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