A lot of languages can seem 'overly' verbose. If you worry that I might
be discussing your favorite language, I probably am. One thing I have
noticed is you never seem to have a language in which the simple
examples of programs in the language are very verbose but the verbosity
diminishes as one makes the program more complicated.

Can anyone think of a language where verbosity in fundamentals of the
program leads to succinctness in the higher levels.

of course verbosity is bound to be relative in nature.
