Answer 1

In this case could concern mean affect? I don't think that preocuparse is the verb that you need to use, but I am having a problem deciding what this sentence is about exactly.

Answer 2

It is from a poem,and 'concern' here means that ,as a poet, he doesn't deal with words,but with fields,landscape, aman of the soil,as it were.

Don't worry about how long you took to respond, it took me a while to think of how to word it.
It almost looks a little poetic in itself. I'm glad that you are happy with it.
