Keening

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

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

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.
