Where does this poem come from?

As a poet, Benkowitz is still known today with his poem about piety, which is critical of religion:

Why does Lina like to go to church so much?
They say it should be done out of vanity
“So that there is something to be admired about her”.
But one is doing her injustice, and it is duty
that one contradicts the annoyance.
She has completely different reasons for this:
She wants through piety, in words and in expression,
earn a man from the Lord.
