Keening

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

The keening mother clutched her child's lifeless body, unable to contain her grief.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for her father's return.

The women of the village gathered to keening when they heard the news of the shipwreck.

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

The keening howl of the lost child echoed through the forest, raising concern among the search party.
