The word "寒" in 寒蟬 also suggests the season in which the poem is set. To my understanding, no cicadas chirp in winter, but they do in late autumn. Which would we sacrifice if we have to--the coldness or the time set for the poem? "Coldness" is a little too big for the mood of the poem, but the word "autumn" gives the right tone.
