Those enjambments don't strike me as particularly extraordinary. In both cases, Robinson broke the lines before prepositional phrases, not an uncommon place to do that. I find the enjambment between the final two lines of the poem to be much more interesting.
But I'm glad you brought this subject up. Years ago I read a horrible poem written in a rhymed form by one of the doyenne's of free-verse immastery. She broke the lines any old place in order to achieve the rhymes. When I get home from work, I'll post that poem as an example of where NOT to break lines.
