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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

The mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.

The keening of the grieving widow touched the hearts of everyone present, evoking a sense of empathy and compassion.
