Read the first two stanzas of "Foreign Lands". Which excerpt contains hyperbole?

Up into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me?
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad on foreign lands.
I saw the next-door garden lie,
Adorned with flowers, before my eye,
And many pleasant places more
That I had never seen before.


Answer :

“And looked abroad on foreign lands”

A hyperbole is an exaggeration, or a statement that is not meant to be taken literally. Line 4 is definitely an over-exaggeration.
