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

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

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

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.
