What reading level is The Eve of St Agnes a Poem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

From his windfows at CKi'^ J Chester he might see the fTockj, ^^ Silent in winter fold^ his lonely walk5 might disturb tne hare and send ner "limping tftro* tfie {rozen:> grass. It is, at all events, to be pointed out tftat tfie poet was perfectly correct in connecting: these images ormidwinter witR his festival, and tftat some ofhis commentators, who have stated tRat Halloween is tRe. ^ Eve ofSt Agnes, are quite incorrect. Hallowmass or Allhallowstide is, on tRe contrary, held lateintfic-^ aut...umn, and All HallowsEve is tRe 31st ofOctober. Where K^ats found his attribution to St. Agrnes of tfie power ofsummoning' uptfie imag^e oFtrue love, I am not aware. That power is universally allowed totRe^ Saints in congress on tfieVig-iloftfieir day ofunited mass, S^tftat in many coun- tries. Butwhat authority had l^ats :^r attributing: it particularjy toStAgn^? I do not I^now, but I conjecture tHat it was based upon a mistal^ in one ortfte bool^ he was reading: [N a worljyon antiqui- ties which was pop- ular ml^ats's day, Ben Jonson is quoted as describing: tfte powers ofSt Agrnes to reveal to tRe enamoured tneir i5?i>«'» future husbands or wives.
