There are a lot of subtle gentle very short songs amid long serious suites. My favourites as far as I can recall now include:
YES soft as a dove
GENESIS horizons
GENESIS silent sorrow of the empty boats
PETER HAMMILL ophelia
PAVLOV'S DOG preludine
YES fish
YES 9 voices
ELP still..you turn me on
DEZO URSINY hadanka (a riddle) {hope you will soon hear it after got accepted here)
BEATLES her majesty

Good thought. Subtlety is a superlative that is rarely levelled
in prog's direction.
I would have to say for me it would be:
Goodbye Blue Sky - Pink Floyd
Mr Theremin - Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin
The Dusk - Genesis
I'm sure there are more but off the top of my head, I can't think of them.

Apart from those mentioned above:
- Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Aloud
- Jethro Tull - Nursie
- Jethro Tull - Slipstream
- Jethro Tull - Cheerio
Not all among long serious numbers but are always appropriately placed in JT's albums - IMO
