Are we talking MLA or APA?
If it is MLA, then here’s an example:
Bradstreet, Anne. “In Memory of My Dear Grandchild Anne Bradstreet.” The Norton Anthology American Literature: Seventh Edition Volume A. Ed. Nina Baym. New York, London: Norton & Company, 2007. 210-11.
You start with the name of the poet followed by a full stop. Then between quotation marks the title of the poem, again followed by a full stop. Then you name the title of the anthology you’ve taken the poem from and UNDERLINE this (YA does not allow me to underline in my answer), also followed by full stop. Then follows the name of the editor of the anthology, then the place followed by a colon after which you mention the publisher, and after the comma the year of publication. Then again a full stop followed by the page numbers where the poem you quoted from can be found.
In your text a long quote (several lines) will be indented, followed by the numbers of the lines between brackets at the end, looking like this "(ll. 15-8)" [= lines 15 to 18]
A short quotation will be in your text between quotation marks, also followed by the numbers of the lines. Do not forget to mention from which poem your quotation is.
