Read the excerpt from "My Heart Leaps Up" by William Wordsworth. Which two sets of lines show enjambment?

My heart leaps up when I behold

A rainbow in the sky:

So was it when my life began;

So is it now I am a man;

So be it when I shall grow old,

Or let me die!

The Child is father of the Man;

And I could wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety.

    The two set of lines that show enjambment are (in bold):

    "My heart leaps up when I behold

    A rainbow in the sky:

    So was it when my life began;

    So is it now I am a man;

    So be it when I shall grow old,

    Or let me die!

    The Child is father of the Man;

    And I could wish my days to be

    Bound each to each by natural piety."

    Enjambment will be shown in a poem in lines that had no punctuation, that roll over from one to another with no terminating mark, it is used for pacing rhythm and for passing ideas.
