"Give Me Your Hand" (Tabhair dom do Lámh in Irish) is a tune from the early 17th century by Ruaidri Dáll Ó Catháin (c.1570-c.1650), perhaps in honour of a lady. It is one of the most widely recorded pieces of Irish and Scottish traditional music.
"Give Me Your Hand" is also the title of many another songs; e.g. Dorothy Stewart's unrelated song is well known.

“Give me a wildness whose glance no civilization can endure,—as if we lived on the marrow of koodoos devoured raw.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“At thirty years a woman asks her lover to give her back the esteem she has forfeited for his sake; she lives only for him, her thoughts are full of his future, he must have a great career, she bids him make it glorious; she can obey, entreat, command, humble herself, or rise in pride; times without number she brings comfort when a young girl can only make moan.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“His friends he loved. His direst earthly foes—
Cats—I believe he did but feign to hate.
My hand will miss the insinuated nose,
Mine eyes the tail that wagg’d contempt at Fate.”
—Sir William Watson (1858–1935)
