plaint

He could not help but voice that plaint, as he had so many times before during that foggy, nightmare journey.

There was no anger, however, in her voice, and not even a harsh plaint; only a detached accepted disenchantment.

Slight as had been the light it provoked remonstrances and down the deck the plaint of a woman was heard.

The Blue Bird heard this and did not lose a word, but waited to see who the lady was who had such a sorry plaint.

At times it resembled the mournful plaint of the lonely dove, and then died away like the last notes of the expiring swan.
