I mean the 1962 collection, which like The Lord of the Rings itself, places poems largely written before LOTR into that world. The Silmarillion is a less "completed" work than The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Other Verses from the Red Book, in that Tolkien never brought it to publication, and the work as we have it only approximates his intent, including some aspects that the editor, Christopher Tolkien, later came to regret.

Tolkien did alter the poem for its 1962 re-publication.
