Explanation:

In the context of the poem and even otherwise, the connotative meaning of ‘sky’ is ‘limitless.’ A free bird enjoys the freedom of flying high in the limitless sky.
The connotative meaning of ‘narrow’ is ‘limited.’ For the caged bird, the freedom is only limited till his cage.
The connotative meaning of ‘dreams’ is ‘hopes and desires.’ Even though the bird is caged, he dreams of freedom and flying high in sky. He is full of hopes.
The connotative meaning of ‘shadow’ is ‘who a person once was.’ Shadow here depicts the caged bird who was once free.
