oar
A long wooden implement used for propelling a boat, barge, or galley. It consists of two parts — a flat feather-shaped or spoon-shaped part called the blade, which is dipped into the water in rowing, and; a rounded part called the loom, ending in a piece of less diameter than the rest, called the handle. The oar rests in a hole or indentation in the gunwale, called the rowlock or oar-lock, or between two pins called thole-pins, or in a metal rest or socket. The action of an oar in moving a boat is that of a lever, the rower's hand being the power and the water the fulcrum. Oars are frequently used for steering, as in whale-boats. -

Shannon--under the stars and sun;
I have dreams how the oar-blades quiver,
And the silvery salmon run.
Around, is music to my ear,
Sweeter to hear, far on before,
Some swifter boatman call, "Good cheer!"
And backed and threshed and ground,
But bitter was the rowers' song
As they brought the war-boat round.
To the stroke of the rhythmic oar,
Till her maiden pulses quicken and long
For the gleam of the syren shore.
Turn crimson 'neath the farther shore,
And here and there the sunset glow
Threads diamonds on a dripping oar.
