What was the original title of J.R.R. Tolkien’s poem later published as The Adventures of Tom Bombadil?

The original title of J.R.R. Tolkien’s poem later published as The Adventures of Tom Bombadil was The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.

The title is also used for the 1962 poetry collection that contains the poem and fifteen other poems. Several pieces had appeared earlier in periodicals, including The Oxford Magazine, but the book gathered them into a single volume with illustrations by Pauline Diana Baynes.

Tom Bombadil himself first appeared in Tolkien’s stories for his children and later became an enigmatic figure in The Fellowship of the Ring. The poetry collection expands the atmosphere of the Shire and nearby lands through songs, legends, and playful verse.

This question can cause confusion because Tolkien’s poem “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil” is both the collection’s title poem and the book’s title. The wording refers specifically to the original title of that poem.
