I'm writing a comparative essay of Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson as my final for my English II class. Everything is typed out and just needs organizing, but I'm having trouble on citing my resources. Books and encylepedias are no problem; I have no idea how to properly adress websites. I have tried looking it up on Yahoo and Google. All I seem to find is information I don't need or is completely irrelevant to my questions.
Since Robert Frost's "In a Disused Graveyard" isn't in my textbook, I used this site to look up the verses. What exactly do I put in parentheses afterthe lines I've used though? With another website I found for another section of my research, it had a specific author I could credit. This site doesn't seem to have any names I could find, despite looking through the F.A.Q. and About Us sections.
It isn't exactly crucial at this point though; I can ask my teacher Monday since it's not due until December 16th and the rough draft Tuesday. I just want to get this out of the way and be done with it completely, even though I feel extremely irresponsible and stupid for asking...

There is an entire handbook online which deals with citing references:[owl.english.purdue.edu]
Their advice:
Author(s)."Article Title." Name of web site. Date of posting/revision. Name of institution/organization affiliated with site. Date of access.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frost, Robert. "In a Disused Graveyard". Poetry Archives at E-mule.com. 12/12/05: [www.emule.com]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's important to include the date the information exists because page information and website listings can vary greatly from day to day. (Also note that this website uses web address shortcuts, you should cite the full address for the poem which shows at the link which is highlighted above.)

Usually, you have to provide a printout of the pages you used. It can't hurt anyway.
