A LONER OF A MAN
He saw the sun but when the sun went down,
He wanted nothing more of that which was around.
Heading for the great Colorado Rocky mountains
Said he,
I will not be back until I see a land of eternity.
A long time ago, this man not many would know,
As for the few, he treated them with kindness, they
Would not forget.
A loner of a man, no choice to but love and care,
An inherited family,
Because he did help another kind, they took from
Him the love in his life.
He wanted to be alone and he learned to care, again
Only pain and despair,
A mountain man you see, he had a life, until life met
Eternity.

Hi as English is not my native language , could you explain the difference between “ A loner of a man “ and for instance “ The loneliness of a man” ? I am still learning and would be very grateful to you ! Thanks in advance .
To me, a loner of a man means he likes being alone.
I understand the meaning of course, I am asking purely grammatically 😉
Aha, like loneliness is his second nature, right?
