Keening

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

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
