For a fleeting moment, in his mind the far-away whine of the siren became the same sad cry he had heard another day.

Mark woke to the strangely sad and beautiful cry of the Muezzin, whose plaintive voice drifted across the ancient city to greet another dawn.

From outside came the long, sad, terrible cry of the owl, and after it, like an echo, the sound of a man moaning.

He shrieked out a cry, inhumanly loud, unbearably sad.

Now there's a mourning dove on the upper galerie railing, moaning its sad cry.

"It was a sad cry, not an 'I'm in danger; help me' cry," she said.

A long, low cry, very deep and very sad, came over the moor.

A mourning dove was moaning her ominous, sad cry just under my window.

His passenger woke up with a sad little cry and grabbed his knee.

Madouc gave a sad little cry, and for an instant lay limp; it was almost her ruin.
