Keening

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

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

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.

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