Poem about love that only touched her and has not been fulfilled. Funny how american readers can find God everywhere. Also here in something more physical than
most of others.

I think this is a poem about how she thinks that love is pointless. She dreams of this wonderful man coming into her life, but tricks her into sleeping with him before marriage (which is against her beliefs) and so God comes in and punishes her and whatnot. And he leaves her, but promises to return. He never does, and she forgets him. When she says she should have loved a thunderbird, I think she is saying she should have loved someone who wouldn't leave her. But keep in mind she believes it is all a dream, either that or this is how she thinks it will go when she falls in love.
