1. Through this nursery rhyme, she is trying to explain there's some rhythm in English, but I can't understand if "little" and "blue" have any rhyme in common, also in "come" and "horn", "will" and "wake", etc as marked in the video. The pairs don't seem to have any syllable in common, so what are the pairs for?
2. In the video, she explains each line is one rhyme. Does "rhyme" mean a line or a syllable or pronunciation in common?

Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn;
But where is the boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haycock,
Fast asleep.
Will you wake him?
No, not I,
For if I do,
He's sure to cry
