Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

The sailor set sail with a keening longing for adventure, eager to explore uncharted waters.

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