Enjambed line.

Explanation:

In poetry, an enjambment is a literary device in which there is a disproportion between the syntax and the metric of a verse.

It can easily be recognized as the idea is not fully expressed by the end of a verse. An enjambment breaks the thought in two and it must be continued through the following line.

This literary device was frowned upon by the classics but was kindly welcomed by the romantics due to its strong expressiveness.
