The lonely cry of a crow

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentence sounds natural.

The lonely cry of a crow broke the silence of the winter morning, reminding me of my own loneliness.

[Charlie Bernstein]

And if you have a minute, look up the difference between lonely and lonesome.

Lonely is fine, but you might prefer lonesome. It's a good word to know, anyway.

"Lonesome" is rarely used in BrE. I associate it with AmE, specifically with the Elvis Presley song "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" and the song "On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine" which I recall is something to do with Laurel and Hardy.
