Haven't you ever seen the dew
That drops in the morning?
With the brilliant sun rays
It vanishes away of itself. . .
Man’s life is very similar
To this -- Jambudvipa --
The land of blackberry fields
Where we stay for a while
Till alternation of wet and fine
Brings the crop to the end of its season.
Dew "forms" or "collects" by means of condensation from water vapor in the air. A "drop" or raindrop is formed when condensation collects on a speck of dust in the air until it gets heavy enough to fall. So dew not only blankets the cold surface of the ground in the morning, it is dew that forms the raindrops that fall from the sky.
