Here's my hypothesis. Lorca is a poet attuned to song, and there is no enjambment in song. He will enjamb, but not in a way that affects the (hypothetical) musical phrase. In this example, the enjambments occur between stanzas, and each stanza is a phrase. Leaving aside the refrain, we have rhyme with the last words of each stanza, first volver, amanecer, ayer, and then retornar, manantial, mar. The enjambment is emphatic, but doesn't interfere with the intonational phrase. Groups of two or three lines form single phrases. Stanzas of four are binary, with two groups of two.
Yo vuelvo
por mis alas.
¡Dejadme volver!
¡Quiero morirme siendo
amanecer!
Yo vuelvo
por mis alas.
¡Quiero morirme siendo
ayer!
Yo vuelvo
por mis alas.
Quiero morirme siendo
manantial.
Quiero morirme fuera
de la mar.
