On Enjambment

It is the running over of a sentence from one verse to another so that closely related words or phrases fall in different lines.

Example: 
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt down, saw sunset glow,
Love and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

(Home of William Wordsworth in the Lake District)
