Many a ...?

Many a man has succumbed to a beautiful woman.
Many a little boy has wanted to become a fireman.
After Many a Summer Dies the Swan.

In all the sentences above, the nouns that immediately follow the
phrase \"many a\" are singular in form but plural in meaning. How would
you explain this mismatch?
Many thanks,
