Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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