I am trying to find a poem that I remember from my college literature course, in Norton Anthology of Poetry vol ?

I remember (or mis-remember) the title as the “Second Coming” but all hits I get are on the Yeats poem, which it is not.

The central image of the poem is of a messiah being borne up through the ground in a grain field, with a threshing machine advancing… I cannot for the life of me locate it, any help is appreciated… thanks
