Keening

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

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

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

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.

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

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