We describe a construction of harmonic forms representing uniquely cohomology classes of a Riemann surface of finite geometry. We obtain precise estimates on the behavior of the forms at infinity and hope to use these forms for counting closed geodesics in homology classes of the surface. This is joint work with Jeff McGowan and Peter Perry.
