Grimm's Fairy Stories, Briar Rose, sentence 30

Then he went on still further, and all was so still that he could hear every breath he drew; till at last he came to the old tower and opened the door of the little room in which Briar Rose was, and there she lay fast asleep, and looked so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off, and he stooped down and gave her a kiss.

Who acts: man, all, Briar · What happens: go on, be, draw, come, open, lie · To what, where: breath, last, door, eyes, kiss, Briar
