Prosodic features are those parts of speech that contribute to aspects of speech such as tone, stress, rhyme and intonation. Prosodic features are important part of speech as they are used to portray meaning. Prosodic features are also used to show emotional state, irony, sarcasm and other features of speech that cannot be shown by using grammar or just vocabulary. 

In the poem 'The Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna' by Charles Wolfe, the main prosodic feature that stands out, is rhyme. The poem is full of rhyming words such as: Hurried  and buried, note and shot, night and light, among many others.
The poem also utilizes words and lines to show the state of sadness at the funeral. This is also a prosodic feature that illustrates the emotional state of the poet. Lines such as: Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note.
