This literary composition could be a lovely creation of personification of rain by Khalil Gibran. The rain says it falls from Heaven within the form of Silver threads thrown down on earth to adorn fields and Valleys. The rain compares itself to the plucked Pearls of Ishtar's crown to be adorned the gardens on earth.
