Help with citing a poem!!!!!?

Question

In class, I was given the poem "the road not taken" on a photocopied handout. How do i cite the poem for my essay? Do I cite a website that has the poem on it, or do i cite the book that it was originally published in (in 1916).?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
