How to cite a poem in APA

Published

I am writing a growth and development paper-or at least trying to. Anyways, I found a poem that I would like to use in my paper but I don't know how to cite it. I have looked in the Pub. Manual of the APA and cannot find anything. I have googled and can't come up with anything. The poem was found online but author is unknown. I know that if I use a direct quote of over 40 words (for anyhting), it has to be indented in a block form. I also saw that I have to be careful if it is copyrighted or not. Anyone know how to do this or if I can even use this poem as the author is unknown? I would appreciate any insight to this.

It gets cited as pulled from the web, with the time, date and URL. There's an example in your book.
