When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

The word 'confused' is used in the clues several times. What does that usually mean?
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

It means the letters are switched around.

Confused, upset, disorganized, broken, backwards, etc. all usually refer to anagrams or just jumbled letters.

Like EMT is an anagram of 'met,' thus 'encountered confusedly'

eta: sheesh, photobucket it really getting annoying. It's been down most of the day.
