I'm trying to figure out whether I need to cite these poems or not. > “Out, Out—” has its morbid description of a young boy bleeding out and its underlying theme of death. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” has its pessimistic theme that nothing beautiful can stay beautiful.

If one were to cite a poem based on a description of its theme, doesn't that encompass the _entire_ poem? This has more to do with the in-text citation part.
