Hello!! A couple of hyperbole in "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" would be "They stretched in never-ending line," because it couldn't really be an never-ending line of flowers. Another one would be "Ten thousand I saw in a glance," because he's saying there's a lot of flowers, but not necessarily 10,000. Lastly, another one would be "Out-did the sparkling waves in glee," he is saying that there was more beauty to the flowers than to the ocean, but the flowers could not out-do the ocean. I hope this helped!! Have a great day. :)
