What is the poem that describes God’s silence not through a trumpet, but through the cold wind?

The poem you are referring to is “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. In this poem, Hopkins uses natural imagery to convey the omnipresence and majesty of God. While the poem itself does not specifically mention God’s silence being represented by a cold wind instead of a trumpet, it does discuss the idea of God’s grandeur being present in the world, despite the industrial scars of humanity. The poem contrasts the loud and destructive impacts of humanity with the quiet resilience and ongoing renewal of nature, which could be likened to silence articulated through the metaphor of cold wind, contrasting with a trumpet’s loudness.
