Copy the lines within your text as you have just copied them out, but with a indentation in your text, and then, you can either use a footnote for the reference, or put the reference just after your text. Write the name of the poet, then the title of the poem in inverted commas, and finally the line numbers.

I think the word you are looking for is "recite".
First, you need to memorize.

Practice,practice,practice.
You need to be able to say the poem as a story, with meaning and making it interesting.
When you say it, you would say it like you are reading or telling a story to a child. You say it with a lot of meaning.
Even if you are reading it, you should have gone over it so many times that you have memorized it.
Also, you need to know what all the words mean and how they are used. If your parents will listen or help you with it, it would make it easier for you. If not, maybe an older student that you know or a teacher that would help you by listening.
