The hymn is also accompanied by an image for each age, which depicts some of the events described in the poem, as well as others. All but the last section is further subdivided into five stanzas. The hymn is written on a rhyming verse and is divided into nine sections, one for each age of the world. A reproduction of that tapestry is now presumably all that remains, at least to human historians.
The hymn was later copied to an Equitan tapestry. The World Hymn is a dwarven poem dating from the first century of the ninth age, which details the nine ages of the world.
