Nothing Gold Can Stay

I came across this wonderful poem way back in high school, about 11 years ago. It's really touching and full of meaning that since then, I have these words and phrases kept in my mind. Knowing of this poem helped me a lot in coping up with my life because it talks of the reality that nothing in this world stays. So everytime I lose something or someone really important to me, I just think of this poem, and somehow, I'll be more or less fine.
Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf's a flower
But only so an hour
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
Thank you Mr. Frost....

That's a beautiful poem. I can see why it is memorable for you.
Was that by Robert Frost?
